WATTERS: And then they sabotaged the teleprompter. I mean, this is an insurrection. And what we need to do is either leave the UN or we need to bomb it. It is in New York though right?
GUTFELD: Yeah, it is.
WATTERS: Could be some fallout there. Alright, maybe gas it?
DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): Let’s not do that.
WATTERS: Don’t gas it. Okay, but we need to destroy it. Maybe can we demolish the building? Have everybody leave and then we will demolish the building.
It’s like saying an embassy is not US soil. Sure, politically, that might be true, but for all non-political purposes, it very much is within the US.
It’s not even true. Embassies are not extraterritorial and remain the territory of the host country.
This is not an embassy. There is a separate, standalone, treaty with the UN giving them that land.
I’ve never looked into it but thought embassies were “territory” lended to the embassies by the country they were placed in. If not it really shoots holes in the conservative talking point that people applying for political asylum should do so at an embassy, because you can only apply for asylum once on U.S. soil I thought
Try arresting someone who has diplomatic immunity. Tell me how that goes for you. Now explain to me why that person was not arrested. After that replace the person with the embassy building and you will finally understand what people are talking about.
That is not the same thing as extraterritoriality. Besides, most people who work in embassies do not have diplomatic immunity.
Yeah, I know, I just don’t have time for pedantic people trying to make bullshit comments when they know the absolute truth is that it’s on US fucking soil
US soil is a completely different thing than the geographic US
Don’t acuse others of being pedantic when you’re just wrong. If you don’t understand the concepts, then don’t comment until you educate yourself.
The US signed a treaty granting the extraterritorial status. It’s not US territory unless the UN abandons it.
