The United Nations Secretariat Building overlooks the East River in New York City.
On my walks through Manhattan I sometimes stop and gaze at it to admire the impressive facade.
And then I think that what I’m looking at is really a mirage.
Here, reported yesterday, is one reason for that:

an aspiring strongman in his battle to depose
the United Nations-backed government. . . .
Analysts said Trump’s endorsement would hamper
United Nations efforts to call for a cease-fire.
Here’s another reason: April 26 — Speaking at a National Rifle Association (NRA) convention in Indianapolis, Trump said he would “never” ratify the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty that was signed by former President Obama in 2013.
