Maybe if we said "pretty please" and sent another boatload of money?

Why would Sudan agree to make the eventual storming of our embassy actually dangerous?

If I were in charge, I’d ask them (and other countries) whether they wanted our embassies there or not. If not, then forget about any form of foreign aid. If so, let us decide whether the protection they provide is adequate or needs augmentation.

These aren’t imperial colonies. They are embassies. Either they get protected and treated as they should be, or they should be retracted along with any pretense of friendship with the host country that refuses to honor diplomatic norms.

You don’t understand. We are asking as a matter of protocol. But we ain’t asking.

Isn’t a US Embassy considered sovereign US soil? If we want Marines there who is Sudan to tell us no?

This could be the beginning of a hostage situation.

Simple solution. You bring home all U.S. diplomats and staff from Sudan, and you eject every Sudanese diplomat, etc. from the U.S. And you pull any funding they might be scheduled for.

"Maybe if we said "pretty please" and sent another boatload of money?"

Probably some truth in that. We should ask again and if we don't get an immediate favorable response, withdraw all US personnel and terminate aid and assistance programs. What Obama will probably do is bow, apologize for giving offense, and send more money if we can send a few marines with severely restricted ROEs.

what a load of crap, a single CH-53 can transport all 50+ Marines and their gear, hover over the embassy compound, fast rope in the Marines, drop their gear and fly back to the carrier without ever touching down.

We don’t ask, we inform.
