Check me if im wrong but usually this is what you do before you evacuate right

Embassy is in DC but Houston is one of the consulates-general

Boy they have a lot of these

Their web design and English idiom is subpar

hmm is this for real?

anonymous source claims they're pulling out Friday, ht @DRO_oDR https://twitter.com/KHOU/status/1285776654950780928?s=19

seems like the most likely explanation

wonder who initiated this https://twitter.com/la_spel/status/1285782438170501120?s=19

nothing on news sites as of 30s ago

more observations I am in no position to evaluate but seem plausible

happy for any IR folks or diplobrats to chime in https://twitter.com/la_spel/status/1285785129839992833?s=19

If I had to guess I would say this is DC initiated

Feels like building up to it with Huawei pressure in UK, spying accusations today

Could also be CN protesting those accusations tho

"CN abt to be destroyed in a Biblical flood"

CN distracting domestics? DC pressing advantage?

Who benefits most from a confrontation now?

Trump maybe given election? But economic cost could be high; willing to gamble collapse for nationalist sentiment?

Maybe he's behind/panicking, risk is a rational gamble?

Interjecting for a moment to remind everyone I have no idea what I'm talking about
