"If you like free history leasson on AN please hunk"Sat, 30 May 2026 16:09:42 +0000The US had made a lot of progress bringing Iran into a tacit cooperative relationship since the mid 1990s, culminating in the JCPOA. Trump blew up 20 years of progress, because the improvements were made by Clinton and Obama, as well as some under Bush II, Of course Netanyahu hated any US attempt to tame Iran, so got his lapdog Trump to join his crusade. I thought this was still classified, but I read it now in open source material: Under Clinton, the US teamed with Iran's IRGC to arm Bosnian Muslims against the Serbs. After 9-11, Iran aided US efforts in Afghanistan against the Taliban and al Qaeda. Clinton, Bush II and Obama took the long term view that dialogue and cooperation could tame even the hardline Islamists. It culminated in the JCPOA, which took Iran 100% out of the nuke game. It was intended that subsequent Administrations build upon that to get Iran to stop funding Shi'a terrorists, and even loosen their fanatical control over their population. It might have worked, and certainly was worth a try, rather than spend $50 billion (some estimates are now considerably higher) blowing stuff up, killing thousands of innocents, and causing worldwide inflation.Sat, 30 May 2026 15:59:46 +0000More far leftist mayhem: Fuel Spill on the National Mall, intentional .

I didn't have to set it up to have checking privileges. But since that was 39 years ago... things may be different now. The other difference is that my Schwab account is still a domestic one. As far as I know, BBL is the only bank that applies restrictions to accounts that receive SS benefit transfers. Initially, BBL was the ONLY Thai bank that could receive electronic deposits of SS benefits. In 2019-2020 a new system of international direct deposit (IDD) became possible. It allowed recipients to use a normal savings account at any major Thai bank to receive their SS. I think BBL still offers the OLD direct deposit method that requires the receiving account be restricted to withdrawals in person. I believe you can also set up BBL to receive the new IDD into an account without those restrictions.Sat, 30 May 2026 15:06:44 +0000With TVC it's pretty much a given that they wouldn't accept your application if they cannot guarantee successful processing.Sat, 30 May 2026 15:02:32 +0000I hope you and I both have more than 10 left.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:56:23 +0000"The mini should have an earphone and a mic jack".
