Just throwing one out here.

When was the first time the U. S. military was ordered to seize a Barclays Bank.

That's an old bank. Probably during the Revolutionary War. Otherwise, when we invaded Canada during the War of 1812.

Nope.

Nope.

I would think a little more recent, Barclays is primarily a British bank but perhaps somewhere in the the far east or maybe even Grenada?

Grenada's closer than the F.E., but I still wouldn't want to walk there.

If not Grenada then how about when we invaded Mexico City during the Mexican-American War in 1847? I know one of the first things we did was to secure foreign assets.

If you can find a reference to that, then you win. But I'm thinking of something 20th C.

Paris or Amsterdam in WWII? Or are we talking continental US here?

Not Continental US, and not Paris or Amsterdam.

Well, when you finally produce your reference it better say it was the FIRST . Because this fuckin' bank has been around since the 1600's. I gotta believe we took one in the revolutionary war, the war of 1812, or some other war where we invaded another country that had foreign interests like Mexico, Cuba, or all those banana republics we always invaded every other years in the early 20th. It could even be Noriega when we went after his drug money or Panama, when we conspired to break it off from Nicaragua.

I don't know how I can confirm what was first unless the reference provides the evidence.

Cairo??

Maybe for beer money, but not by written order.

BTW, you finally have the right continent.

I can't find the answer to this question on google, but I do now know that Barclays Bank is supporting Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe and supported apartheid South Africa during the 1980s.

Glad I don't bank with them.
