Embassies being “on [x] soil” is a legal fiction. Embassies are, of course, protected by international and national laws.
But the embassies in England are on land held from the Crown like all other land in England.
I know this, as it was my first question at law school!

Talking about Trump's demolishing of parts of the White House and his plans to build an arch; these are the three largest embassies in the world and located in three Arab capitals, Cairo, Baghdad, and Beirut.
These buildings are some white supremacist proclamation about Arab inferiority.

today on BBC Newshour, a diplomat explained that one of the things they are trained to do is “the ugly mirror,” in which middle-aged men are encouraged to take a real close gander at themselves in the mirror every morning and remember that no mysterious hottie is into them for their looks
That hand on the shoulder was letting him know she got that water park.
This nigga didn’t stand a chance.

Russia’s embassies are increasingly changing the language they use around the war in Ukraine. ‘Conflict’ now appears 3.6 times more frequently in their communications, while ‘dialogue’ and ‘peace’ are also on the rise.

We need to start by replacing the carpet bagging billionaires doing negotiations for themselves with actual diplomats. Many embassies don't even have ambassadors and staffs anymore because Trump thinks they have no value other than as rewards to his cronies.

A hospital near Western embassies is Moscow testing whether the West treats the Starshield throttle as a technical footnote or a decision that costs Kyiv interceptors. The speed cap and the strike land in the same week for a reason.
