The UN is just an international forum for diplomats to meet and talk. It has no sovereignty, there is no physical area outlined by borders defining it as a state. It is simply the end result of a few treaties put together.

The United States is nothing more than the joint composition of 50 independant states, an umbrella acting as a sovereign nation. The US exists as 50 individual states, each occupying a physical place outlined by borders. The U.S. partially governs the land those states occupy by virtue of mutual benefit.
The US is just a national forum for representatives of the states to meet and talk. It has no sovereignty over the group of 50 states outside of the sovereignty assigned to it by those 50 states. There is no physical area outlined by borders, outside the 50 states that comprise it, that define it as a national state. It is simply the end result of a few documents put together.
Apples to apples.
