I’d like to thank Dr. @philipwblood.bsky.social for this episode on Aachen, which we recorded a year ago so bear with me when there are notes such as the release of his latest book, War Comes to Aachen. We also recently recorded a new episode but it will be out when I get to the 1945 content.

There is paperwork.
It's from 1916 when the US bought/traded $25M & official acknowledgment of Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland to Denmark for the Dutch West Indies because (stop me if you heard this one) the US was afraid another country would take it over.

In 1916, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA for $25M, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. The USA was worried Germany could take control of the islands, though they had no plans to do so.
In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over #Greenland

Throwback Thursday: in 2022, host Olga Skabeeva shouted at journalist Dmitry Galkin, who predicted that Russia's invasion of Ukraine would cause thousands of deaths per day. Skabeeva said the war will be over the moment Russian troops set foot in Ukraine.

McDonald's in Ukraine, which is 100% owned by McDonald's Corporation, is one of many American corporations operating in the country. Some of them had US citizens as employees. Doesn't seem like the Russians cared. Poor security guarantee, if you ask me.
