All the US brokerages with international clients do that. You cannot avoid it, taxes are paid at the same time the dividends are paid. When you open an account at someone like IBKR as an international client they should ask you to provide a tax number TIN as part of the sign up process. There is nothing more they do. Its up to you where you file annual tax returns on any money you make or loose with them.

I did "for long term stay in Thailand" to KBank and it arrived in under 10 seconds.

Utter tosh. There is no credible evidence to support the conspiracy theory you spread that the "Deep State" was involved in Liz Truss's removal as Prime Minister. Her resignation was largely attributed to her own policy decisions, particularly the controversial mini-budget, which sparked widespread criticism and market turmoil. Financial markets, which reacted negatively to the mini-budget. Financial markets are not Deep State.

Trading US stocks with a US broker only as a foreigner with a W8-BEN form normally only exposes me to withholding tax by the broker on dividend payouts. However I was hit with a new tax as a foreign investor that only applies to certain US stocks (Master Limited Partnerships) which are typically stocks with MLP or LP in their company name. Then then tax I was hit with was 10% of the sale value. E.g. Buy 1000$ worth of MLP stock, sell for 1010$ for 10$ profit, then 2 days later broker applies 10% of sell value as NON RESIDENT WITHHOLDING tax or 101$ tax! The NON RESIDENT WITHHOLDING tax typically applies to certain types of US-based investments, particularly those considered "pass-through" entities or investments that generate US-sourced income.

The country is constitutionally under martial law so cannot hold elections safely when Russians are marauding over it. The elections will take place after the Russians leave and peace is restored. Use your nonce.
