I guessed the biggest embassy was in London but I was just thinking of the main building. I still think the Ambassadorship to the UK is the most prestigious.

[@Longhauler85]

It's definitely a nice building, for sure. I know it's newer.

@@BTinSF The new embassy in London is not grand, but rather like a mid-rise, high tech office building along the Thames. I agree that the UK ambassador post is the most sought after political appointment - it would be, given the relationship between the two countries. The American embassy in Paris is a very close second because it’s the oldest American diplomatic mission. It’s on prime real estate, too, at the Place de la Concorde.

I've been to two US embassies while I was teaching English abroad. I got tax advice from an IRS agent in Tokyo and renewed my passport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Both places - especially Saudi - had very tight security. But both embassies could fit into one corner of the Baghdad compound.

@@jerseydevs2000 The American embassy moved from Jeddah to Riyadh in the mid-1980s, along with others countries’ diplomatic missions. What remained in Jeddah was a very large consulate compound with 9 hole golf, swimming pools, and housing for Marines and diplomats - very cosmopolitan and large enough to drive around inside the walls. The Riyadh embassy (in the diplomatic quarter) is very different and much smaller.

The narrator is implying that 'Main Street' is a copy of super corporate America..Disney. Main Street in almost every city, town or village existed long before Disney parks. Walt Disney was attempting to copy Main Street of his hometown of Marceline, Missouri. To those in the U.K. what we call 'Main Street' is what you call the 'High Street'.

The Embassy area is shaped like the state of Oklahoma

Good luck trying to fly in the green zone. It's protected by a couple of C-RAMs. (Counter rocket, artillery, and mortar) React to This is America's C-RAM Weapon System to see what I mean. They can shoot down low aircraft quite easily.

I would love to know if any country outside the USA has an embassy in a mid west state? not in a major city.. Embassy's are a nice idea, but not when you have to protect it from possible issues

[@officeblokedaz]

@@jerzeyguy71 I’d doubt an embassy but possible to have consulate in a Midwest state.

[@Longhauler85]

I agree with Daz. I'm 95% sure ALL foreign embassies are located in Washington, D.C. since it's the U.S. Capitol. But those embassies do have consulates in major cities across the country.

[@pacmanc8103]

@@jerzeyguy71All foreign embassies are in Washington. Consulates of many larger countries are located in a variety of US cities.

Almost like the Republican held congress refused to spend money on fortifying an embassy they already knew had security flaws before the attack. We had a several year investigation on it all.

@@Zhiperser "it was the republicans!!" Just like when Hilldawg bleached her servers during the subpoenas. Or when the DNC rigged it against Bernie? That was also the republicans, yes? Keep pushing the blame. Only people that believe you are still asleep buddy ❤️
