That's just the spirit of Nergal taking possession over his husk.

They pulled it from a number of recruiting sites but Kagi still had the results in their cache.

I totally agree with you here, this is the important, intended subtext I left out. We just are not used to not having a monopoly on political capital.

I meant is it's not a service I'd depend on in a regional crisis as they can and will deprioritse it. It is not the main mission as the following passage to that sentence shows:

The functions of a diplomatic mission consist, inter alia, in representing the sending State in the receiving State; protecting in the receiving State the interests of the sending State and of its nationals, within the limits permitted by international law; negotiating with the Government of the receiving State; ascertaining by all lawful means conditions and developments in the receiving State, and reporting thereon to the Government of the sending State; promoting friendly relations between the sending State and the receiving State, and developing their economic, cultural and scientific relations.[18]

It's not even rare for embassies outside of the first world's to be openly hostile or outright useless to their own citizens in a pinch during times of peace.

Embassies can deprioritise citizen services when diplomatic relations with the host state make it politically costly or impossible, which is exactly what's happening here. That's the substantive point about the article and why citizen services are not even mentioned in the introduction.

I'm saying it's a bonus to a diplomatic mission rather than a duty.

Kind of. Their main purpose, though, is to represent the state for relations and dealings with the host, citizen services are secondary to this. Political capital within that relationship will determine what kind of things that they can help with, but overall you as an individual are responsible for yourself. There's many places you're kind of SOL even with an embassy.
