Hot tip, thanks

Sorry you missed this in school: I and she are both the subjects of the sentence. I=she, therefore I am she.

Does anyone know where is it actually going to be located? its not like that amount of land can be secret...

@pribina
See first post,, has a link and all the info,,,

"The new embassy campus, to be built at a cost of US$1.2 billion, will be located on a 3.2-hectare land lot in Cau Giay District under a 99-year lease."

Wont be all that secret there will be a 1.2 bill USD building on it with American flag and US troops standing outside, easy to spot amongst the local buildings.

America is heading at full speed towards financial collapse which will send a tsunami of hardship around the globe. US$1.4 billion is outrageous but it pales to being insignificant when it's compared to the trillions of US debt which the government is planning to run up. You can check out on the internet which president ran up the biggest debt in US history and work out the rest for yourself. I'm looking into buying some gold stocks or buying some physical gold. If you can't do that then find a wealthy partner. Or do both!


Seeing as the Govt builds Embassies to last a minimum of 50 years, they assume they will get their monies worth, just not with Afghanistan as it was abandoned.  Under the Vienna Convention, the Embassy grounds are considered USA, 'cept where you abandon it - so that structure cost about $900 million -  we just threw it away.  The Taliban will probably make it their Government house, or offer to sell it back to us. (haha). When will we ever learn??

O, yes. For that money, building comes with a cloaking device.

For that you need the Klingons, Romulans, or Harry Potter.
