OUR embassy is OUR turf (even if it is only the size of a postage stamp) in that country!!
Same with our embassy anywhre else or THEIR embassy HERE! You’d be nailed to the nearest fence with rail road spikes if you even TOUCHED THEIR embassy!!!
Our embassy is our sovereign turf and we have a right and DUTY to defend it. The French did the right thing, too bad Americans don’t know how this stuff works!
Our dimplomatic service, I see, is dummied-down right along with the rest of our society. NOW everybody is at ‘zero’ efficiency!!! ...and at ‘zero’ intelligence!
The security of the outside of the chancery is the responsibility of the local guards. The Marines are responsible for the inside. It wasn’t breeched, so they didn’t get shot.
Actually, no, it's not. That is a widely held misconception. However, the host country may not enter the grounds of an embassy without permission of the nation in question (Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations).
The host country is responsible for security on embassy grounds. My worry is that Zero doesn't have the balls to handle an assault on an American embassy with anything approaching competence.
