He managed to be worse at the Kennedy Center than he was in Berlin.
Given that he was an American ambassador in post–WWII Germany that nobody wanted to talk to, that took some doing.

How badly do you have to fuck up as an American ambassador in post–WWII Germany for nobody to take a meeting with you?
Grenell managed that feat.

This kind of thing happens everywhere that there is an unaccountable secret police, though the AI bit is new.
The answer, as always, is not to have an unaccountable secret police force.

Like the Schelling bit, one of those things that hits harder for being so casually tossed out there.

Speaking of interesting asides involving Iran, here's Milovan Djilas on p. 15 of Conversations with Stalin:
“The Teheran through which we moved about, from the Soviet Command to the Soviet Embassy, was already a piece of the Soviet Union.”

No dawn comes in Gondor—a dark pall flows west from Mordor in the upper air. Pippin is wakened by Gandalf, gets only a small loaf as breakfast, and must serve Denethor today as esquire. The armoury provides halfling-sized armour in the black & silver of the Guards of the Citadel.
