HaHa! - Hit on it!, @whatstheofficerproblem !

You may say so, but his performance is quite impressive, just take a look a this 80 years old charlatan and womanizer working on the always white dressed female Italian, who won't beg him! [If you ask me, it's just awesome, nobody can make this up, except AI! - please don't tell Melania about it, or your President may be in trouble! ] : https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116869343915433662

@whatstheofficerproblem, Alone the fact that you've now posted your origin here on CofB&F may possibly end up being of tremendous help for you, not that this to be understood as CofB&F are divided into national groups, but it always helps to get to know someone - at least it can'r hurt.

@Whensthepaintdry?, Yeah, I remember that, too, and on Reddit a Q&A is called an AMA [Ask Me Anything]! <John, quite happy & proud to post a material contribution here *shrug*> - - - o 0 o - - - In short, she lost access to Warren Buffett after the release of 'Snowball'.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck going forward, @whatstheofficerproblem !, With that said, you're also forgiven to post push back to NYC dirt & trash talk in this topic, which it's over time evolved to become!

I've personally been holding my breath the last couple of days related to the Ankara NATO summit ... - how would it go, and how would it turn out related especially the relationship of NATO to USA, and here we go - To me personally, it certainly could have turned out much, much more worse than this : NATO - Press Office [July 8th 2026] : The Ankara Summit Declaration - 8 July 2026 - - - o 0 o - - - By now, released about a half an hour ago.

I'm sorry to see how this not well thought out comment of mine, with no real value, has triggered this exchange, despite both gents Charlie [ @dealraker ] and @73 Reds are handling it well. A token of the basic and severe division inside the American society, I speculate. - - - o 0 o - - - I think it's about 1½ years ago, I did put on a 'personal silencer' in this topic on myself related to domestic US politics [not US foreign politics] and US general conditions, but it unfortunately still happens regularly, that a quip unintentionally escapes between my rips.

HaHa! - I have grown a soft spot for your humor, @Spekulatius!

@Sinbius, I'll take the freedom to respectfully challenge that statement above of yours. EU has nothing to do with and no control over EU members' defence spending, however each EU members defence budget matter for each country, especially versus the relation to NATO membership, if NATO member. There doesen't even exist a NATO Army, a NATO Navy or a NATO Air Force. It's all mirages and wet dreams in the heads om some persons in Brussels. What EU does against Big Tech can the same way be challenged. Nobody here where I live [Denmark, both NATO and EU member] are on the hunt after Big Tech. It's a general misperception outside Europe, that EU decides 'everything' inside EU. EU simply doesen't. - - - o 0 o - - - @Sinbius, Are you Danish? -I'm asking because you have linked to a YouTube video with Danish text translation. Please feel free to decline to answer my question - I respect you privacy, if you decline to answer my question.

That one-liner key sentence is actually kind of clicl-bait, @Spekulatius LoLz! - Furthermore I simply lost my focus and attention after a quarter of the interview because of Anthony Scaramuccis T- or sweat shirt and the view to his bookshelf [nosy!] I swallow the rest of the interview after some sleep. The take is very interesting for a European citizen like me.

No need to post such like this in Egons [ @EgonKuhns ] USA anniversary topic of today on a day like this: DR - Northern Jutland [July 4th 2026] : Trump should not trump Danish US celebration Honestly : Wtf?! - So, the American Ambassador to Denmark not invited as usual, because of of some boneheads elected to Aalborg City Council now putting ''non-Trump elected' conditions' on a subsidy of DKK 300 K ?! You got to be kidding me! -This is just soo un-Danish towards our most important ally! - - - o 0 o - - - Wikipedia : Rebild Festival Rebild National Park Society

Happy 4th of July to United States of America!, here especially to all our American CofB&F members and their families!

YouTube - The Alex Marlow Show [June 30th 2026] : Lara Trump on America 250, AI Data Centers & Greenland with Gov. Jeff Landry - - - o 0 o - - - Grenland comments starts at around the 14:40 mark. POTUS' Greenland special envoy is simply put a notorious liar. Period. Pure *BS*.

Egon [ @EgonKuhn ] & @Spekulatius, @Spekulatiuss points above are valid. Related to tax efficiency, @Spekulatiuss commment may as far as I understand relate to you, Egon [ @EgonKuhn ], while it is not relevant for me, holding this basket stuff in Danish tax deferred accounts [I get credit in Danish taxes for foreign withheld dividend taxes]. Related to why even try? I'll mention I have looked at the rest of Europe at that time, also, but never engaged in anything at that time. In stead of trawling through long lists of listed companies I did download to a spreadsheet the total portfolio of NBIM [Norges Bank Investment Mangement], and turned on some filters [country, real estate] to take a tour in Europe looking around. [Link ]. [NBIM stocks likely picked by one of many investment mandates, Nicolai Tangen is too busy doing podcasts!]. I did not feel comfortable at any of that stuff, knowing nothing about local conditions, regulation and such.
