Yeah. I'm more specifically referring to totalitarian regimes that won't let NGO's in. Like NK is suffering massively from COVID, but they won't let the red cross do their thing independently at all.

And don't forget that the entire Black Hawk Down episode happened because Somali warlords were essentially robbing people of their food allotments right after they got out of sight of the UN peacekeepers.

It's not implausible. The entire South China Sea is basically a fight over what rock formation technically constitutes an "island" so Japan/Korea/Taiwan/China can claim a wider fishing territory. Think the fight for Pluto, if Pluto being a planet meant a country would gain or lose billions of dollars

For real. I never it much thought for rent and such since I've been blessed with a good job but God damn i would be beside myself if I transferred it wrong.

The kicker is that when the bank screws it up, they can sue your ass if you spend any of the money.

Depends on if OP had the bad luck of accidentally typing on someone else's account info. In the US, if you accidentally zelle someone, you can't get it back unless you file a police report saying you were defrauded. Shit, when I was doing the downpayment on my home, it was nerve wracking entering in the wire transfer info because if you type it in wrong, you could literally just be out hundreds of thousands
