Washington said Maduro's orders are invalid, as he no longer has "Legal. authority to break diplomatic relations or declare our diplomats persona non grata," and thus will not withdraw embassy staff.
Maduro threatened to cut off the electricity and water to the embassy.
Surely more than one person inside the State Department remembers that it was 38 years ago last week when American diplomatic hostages were finally released by Iran, after government-sponsored "Students" took over the United States embassy in Tehran.
The former United States embassy building in Afghanistan was left largely untouched.
Saddam Hussein did not take any U.S. diplomats hostage, and the old United States embassy in Baghdad was never attacked.
The EAP explains how the embassy will be defended by its local security forces and/or Marine guards, where people will take safe haven, the locations of friendly embassies, and more.
It is a nervous time inside the United States embassy in Caracas.
