I was thinking mortars myself. How many people will be stationed there? It’s not exactly a spot people will fight to become ambassador.
Maybe it's going to be a homeless shelter.
Seriously, the opulence is astonishing. If I had to venture a guess there was someone who thought we could make it a middle-east "diplomatic hub". Its size and scope is astonishing for an Embassy. I see all kinds of buildings of various shapes some of which seem to be of questionable utility for "office space" Is it or will it be the largest embassy we have?
I am thinking a warehouse of ammonia nitrate a few blocks away.
