Hot Air Because the US is apparently flush with cash, we will shortly close our London embassy where our security measures have annoyed our neighbors to build a new one in a former industrial area — for over one billion dollars. The much-derided Green Zone embassy in Baghdad cost just over half that amount, and our new Islamabad embassy will cost close to $850 million. The obvious conclusion: our diplomats require more expensive security in London than they do in Baghdad or Pakistan, a weird and unexplained decision. However, our embassy in the “Battersea wasteland” will have one ultra-high-tech feature that the others lack … a moat:
A moat? Let’s take a look at some of the other security measures we can expect at our new, high-tech embassy, such as its anti-missile defense system: ![]() Its security team: ![]() And let’s not forget the architectural process, explained in the first 45 seconds:

"There are strange things done in the midnight sun, by the men who moil for gold; the arctic trails have their secret tales that'd make your blood run cold... the Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see... was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge, that I cremated Sam McGee." - Robert W.
