#having worked with some us ambassadors in the past#their jobs are not as glamorous as their titles#they often lack resources and work with a skeletal staff#and their families do sacrifice a lot #unlike foreign embassies here in the us#none of them live in mansions #and depending on the country#are also put in danger #regardless of your politics#this is not the thanks they deserve#not to mention it creates a gap and a rocky transition for the embassies#like it’s not just the ambassador it’s the entire staff down to the attaches#so how are those embassies going to function?#it’s not like all positions will be filled right away
