I personally think speculate the majority of Western European countries will reply, politely 'No, thank you', this is your own cooking, please eat it, plus we haven't forgotten your stance on the 'Ukraine thingy'.

That's an awesome post, @Cityzoo!, Thank you for sharing it.

Man, 900 pages...! - We're all crazy! - Even @Vikings Fairfax book can't keep up!

HaHa! @Xerxes, Consider it done! <John, the naughty boy!>

Hereby admitted, @73 Reds, It's about loyalty among allies. And mutuality also. Add to that proportions. In the years to come Danish elementary school kiddos will in history classes be taught the 47th President of United States of America threatned to break up the Danish Realm. In USA it will be lost in the countrys memory as a nothing burger. When the Greenland fuzz was at it's highest, I remember in Danish TV seeing a Danish reporter on the street in central NYC asking bypassers on the walkway, what their opinion was about POTUS' then 'Greenland work in progress'. Nobody answered, all asked refused, declined to answer for the mic and in front of a camera lens, where on the mic there was a label 'TV2'. And honestly, why not? I understand the angle, honestly. Why the heck relate in public to a situation about 56 K people, when you're a citizen in a country of 345 million? The perception of 'the thingy' simply depends on who you are! - As always!

Mike [ @cubsfan ] is a nice guy! He is also an american with opinions. And opinions he's entititled to have, combined with an American vote!

I certainly understand and acknowledge your comment here, related to the European countries, @73 Reds, It's all about priorities. We have a not so pleasant, actually nasty guy in Moscow also, we need somehow to handle also, to take care of ourselves. Then there is this tiny thingy with Greenland related to USA from a Danish perspective. Don't expect Denmark in the forseeable future will follow USA into this kind of engagements, every Danish politican knows such a decision by now would be political suicide. Everything has a price.

Christ, @Xerxes, I can't recall having heard about that acid attack before. Plain god damn evil thing to do!

@Xerxes, What do you mean by that? They are already there, all of them!, naturally! 'The strait is open, but there are all kinds of very unpleasant stuff in the air coming down on you, hard!'

Denmark is fairly good place to live, but far from perfect in some aspects. An example of Danish immigrant policy when it's worst, some paper pusher making 'mechanical' decisions with the head up where the sun doesen't shine : Fyens Stifttidende [March 15th 2026] : Nurse deported to war in Iran shortly after husband's death: - Our lives are completely shattered An Iranian nurse went to Denmark to help with the nursing shortage and landed a job as a social worker at a nursing home. Yet authorities are now sending her family back to war-torn Iran. Mehrnoosh Emadi had just buried her husband when she was told that she must leave Denmark and return to war-torn Iran by May 5th. - - - o 0 o - - - A widowed nurse with kids!? A tax paying, to society contributing, educated nurse, filling a meaningsfull job where there is labor shortage?! - WT*?! - I hope this triggers Mehrmosh gets the help she needs, and / or some politician steps in here. If I was a lawyer, I would take this case pro bono. I found her address, not far from here, and her phone number, I will likely text her monday to ask if she stands alone with this. At least I can refer her to the right person in town.

@ourkid8, Then there must be oil pipelines to Fujarah Port that also become targets, right?

< <- I coulden't help it!>

Let me just say, that I'm pleased SD [ @SharperDingaan ] diden't write 'John six-pack'. I would be just so offended, and threaten to leave CofB&F for good, whining, just to return after one week max!

I think the same. Please be mentally prepared.

Mike [ @cubsfan ], You're a US citizen, located in the Chicago area, financially well situated, because of hard work, saving & investing. Politically engaged the last nine years or so, in US politics. Naturally, your voice matters, also here on CofB&F, also to me, to understand the whole picture. I'm reading, listening, thinking. Quite a few of your points are not just points, they are indeed facts. Please keep them coming, you naugthy young boy with too much energy at disposal here! [Where the h*** do you find all that energy? ]

Blake [ @Blake Hampton ], Mike [ @cubsfan ] is quite thick-skinned, experienced, mature, grown-up, likely close double your age, very successful investor and can likely take this. But if Mike feel offended, you owe him an apology, in my book. What makes CofB&F going around is different options, different angles, different approaches and discussions interpartes between the disagreeing.

Please continue aiming for my legs, you're welcome. I can assure you you run out of steam before me.

@73 Reds, If we tried to settle the conflict evident here, by locking you and your adversary up in a locker room here, -no food, no water, one of you would be dead, the other one of you barely a live, each of you just waiting for the other person to die! LOLz! And you would both still be farly polite towards eahcother, untill the very end! Reminds me of Danish marital lesgislation : Stong reasons for divorce : 1 Infidelity, called for by the cheated [No way go way get a divorce by just going down town and go totally crazy Friday night!], 2 Mutual irreconcilable disagreements, agreed on by both, that they exist, 3 Hubby not doing what hubby is supposed to do once in a while, now and then [this is killling me ! ] on the initimate level, same for wifey. [I remember being very active with lots of questions about it when I was at the university, the law professor being very tired about such questions! ]. - - - o 0 o - - - Please think about it, @73 Reds. Is It worth it here? [bullet # 2].

I consider myself out of the ongoing exchange here on CofB&F about Iran, from here, onwards, by now. Please don't set CofB&F on fire! Please don't burn CofB&F down!

Who else should he call? - As you wrote, he has no control what so ever over what's going on. Just the usual sh*t posted here in this topic, that investment related is irrelevant about Europe, posted here by an American.

Mike [ @cubsfan ], Why are you diluting, diverting this discussion with Iraqs former information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf? That said, entertainmant is to like.

Cool, short, to the point, not affected by the sentiment and temp in this topic. As usual.

@73 Reds, If I have offended you with the above from me, I hereby apologize. I can assure you, that was not my intention. I just hope this doesen't affect the quality of your Saturday. If some posts here on CofB&F are offensive to you, I would suggest you to use the report feature in upper right corner of that specific post, and Sanjeev [ @Parsad ] will look into it, and get back to you.

@73 Reds, If we really enter religious territory here on CofB&F, we will need to file at Sanjeev [ @Parsad ] modification requests adding drones, Scudd misiles, Tomahawk missiles, fligth carriers software additions etc. to CofB&F and it will not end well. I just try my best to respect everyones religious orientation [including yours], to avoid offending anyone, not to stir the pot here on CofB&F with such.

@73 Reds, Thank you. Maybe @ourkid8 will fill us in on that, if inclined hereto by this exchange. @ourkid8 has always been straght and to the point. - - - o 0 o - - - Disclosure - immaterial to me, and not that it matters : I'm personally a church tax paying [not much] member of the public Danish People's Church, which is Evangelical Lutheran. I always try to meet a new person in my sphere with a positive opeminded approach, in eye-to-eye height, and take it from there.
