An archive.org link, since submitting LinkedIn articles doesn’t seem to be possible, and I think it’s an interesting story nevertheless.

There’s some irony in that Bruce Perens, of all people, posted it only on LinkedIn and not on his blog.

Interesting story but the actual person credited with starting this potentially catastrophic diplomatic embarrassment is billionaire nepo baby Ronald Lauder:

Apparently the original discussion included trying to trade Puerto Rico for Greenland.

Its quite a stretch to say this guy had anything to do with it. We've tried to acquire Greenland twice before.
