Replying to a message of John Massey to Daniel Prather:

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Now just suppose that happened.  Okay, the UN headquarters moves from New
York City, where NSA can easily spy on everybody in it and the US government
can (and does) plant spies throughout the building as guards, cleaning crews,
building maintenance personnel etc., to Berne, Switzerland, where it'll be a LOT
harder for that to happen.

You could also expect that in short order the US would lose its overseas bases
and overflight rights (for government aircraft) all over the planet.  First all US
military and civilian personnel and dependents would be restricted to the confines
of the various bases and when the treaties with the host countries expired they
would be required to leave.

It is also quite likely that the Euro would replace the dollar in international
trade.  That's likely to happen anyway, but such an action by the US government
would surely accelerate the trend.  And when that happens overseas investors will
be less likely to purchase US government debt instruments - which means that
the US government will not be able to keep refinancing that enormous national debt.

The US would also most likely lose a lot of trade, and a lot of the remaining trade
would become more expensive - and that would require that a lot of manufacturing
be brought back into this country.
