    I think more to the point is that SA's defacto leader kidnapped a foreign leader, nearly went to war with Qatar, and has created a bloody humanitarian nightmare in Yemen. He is clearly a psychopath in the mold of Saddam Hussein. Remember when the US was a supporter of him? And in that case, just as now, one of the major reasons, if not the major reason, was opposition to Iran.

    Well, yeah, but - oil!

  2. Update on my Transferwise experience - Here is an email I just received after setting up a transfer of $10,000 US:

     

    "Your money's taking a little longer to get to us.

    When you set up your transfer, we estimated that it would take 1 working day for your money to get to us. But this time, it’s taking a little longer to arrive.

    Your money will now get to us in 3 working days. As soon as it gets here, we’ll convert it. Then we’ll send it out to your recipient.

    You can track your transfer from your TransferWise account."

  3. I'm currently mucking about with Transferwise. Not impressed. There is absolutely NO way to talk to a human, their help pages are anything BUT helpful, and there is a daily $5,000 US limit - but you have to find that out the hard way. As well, you can't transfer $5k today, then another $5k the next day. I'm not sure what they consider a full day. I imagine if you're transferring just once a month, it is easy and the least expensive. I'm trying to send the ฿800,000 before 17 April, and I don't see that happening. Heavy sigh, I have a friend who knows a friend who can get me sorted this year, then NEXT year my money will be well seasoned.
