I saw the Hammarskjold movie yesterday, please consider watching it also,
@ukemapu Says:
You can see the documentary of his death, (and Cia and Belgium connection) its called "Cold Case Dag Hammarskjold"
@ROBBER011 Says:
Swedish people are the best!
@DanielChaves1984 Says:
Can you do a video on any of your channels where appropriate about how Russia still has Veto power in the UN all because it was a founding member despite leaving the UN.
@AntonQvarfordt Says:
11:40 Correction: They actually did pretend to care.
They just clearly really really didn't, at all.
@cpklapper Says:
As the son of a third-generation Swedish-American, my Mom, who idolized Dag, with my calling from my infancy to solve the problem of poverty for the people in general, and with my experience as a government economist, I had oft seen my role as a young Dag, though my approach is subtly different and I am now some years older than Hammarskjold at his death. Nonetheless, I soldier on, continuing to seek a readership for “Popular Capitalism”, and to defend myself from democratic smears.
@normal9782 Says:
why have I never heard of this great man before today? why did my country's education system seem to have omitted him entirely?
@svartorivigt5016 Says:
Just watched the trailer for Hammarskjöld movie when I was in the cinema for Oppenheimer.
@damienflinter4585 Says:
Excellent delivery. Ta.
@Fernstrom91 Says:
Great video as always.
Some requests are Raoul Wallenberg, Olof Palme and Charles XII
@briandoss9232 Says:
Huh. Didn't learn about him in history class.
@Bald_Zeus Says:
While on the topic of influential swedish diplomats, you should make a video on Raoul Wallenberg. He saves thousands of jews during ww2 but was then kidnapped by the Soviets and dissapeared. Nobody knows where he ended up
@Bormannator Says:
The face behind one of the most useless organizations in the world.
@pooman4185 Says:
UN troops go to war torn countries and give drugs to kids and take advantage of woman.
@mugabowilliam4959 Says:
Can the Western world stop supplying weapons to Congo.
@kevintaylor791 Says:
Why is it that the people and subjects I suggest get made, but they don't pop up until months after?!
Same damn thing happened with Haile Selassie.
You could totally do another whole episode on decoding the unknown on the crash of that flight.
@annehersey9895 Says:
So why weren't UN troops sent to Ukraine to 'keep the combatants apart' the minute Russia invaded? What has changed with the UN?
@annehersey9895 Says:
Well, in my eyes, Anthony Eden's brilliant idea does a lot for the very ragged reputation of Eden's!
@talk2muchentertainment817 Says:
What’s this rumble 👀
@Nick-rs5if Says:
Dag Hammarskjöld adorns the new/current Swedish 1000-kronor (1000 crowns) banknote, the highest valued banknote in Sweden.
For context, the former person adorning the 1000-kronor banknote was King Gustav Vasa, the Father of our Nation.
@dianecripps204 Says:
Rhodesia is now Zimbabwe, NOT Zambia.
@kingjamesmedia2843 Says:
you said 1971 its 1961
@theodorsonfors1391 Says:
The enunciation of this man's last name in this video is very cute.
@danielmartinez9933 Says:
Make an episode about Vicente Guerrero! He abolished slavery in Mexico.
@Blueboy0316 Says:
The un is a failure, dag not withstanding.
@second2nonebut1 Says:
Patrice Lumumba was that guy, a beautiful man. Sadly, all of his enemies have prices of his body parts. It's disgusting!!
@tacitus6384 Says:
So he's to blame...
@NewDealChief Says:
Now do one with Cordell Hull, the longest-serving Secretary of State and named the "Father of the United Nations".
@gameman1100 Says:
As a Swedish person, not many in our generation know about this great man. More then the names of the youtubers that bring nothing. He was a remarkable man, we need a dag hammarskjöld in these times once again. Remember I heard about him, bought his book Markings. Best investment ever!
@mikkelferupandersen5341 Says:
I’d like to propose count and diplomat Folke Bernadotte, who helped negotiate the release of 31.000 POW during the of WW2, whereafter he was unanimously chosen as the UN envoy for Palestine, only to be assassinated on duty by the Israeli Stern militia.
@Dems1944 Says:
Thats a lot of terrible name pronounciations in one video..
@sharonwolfe9464 Says:
Hey everyone really weird question but I Was wondering if there's a group or a website to join to talk with Like minded people like everyone here, This and things discussed here are what I'm into so maybe just trying to reach out and make some friends!
@tarim2822 Says:
I recently discovered this channel and I absolutely love it! Your recounts of figures from around the world, spanning all eras and ages is truly remarkable. As a lover of history thank you so much for your work 😃
@imaplatypus0073 Says:
On the topic of the un I'd like to suggest a new Zealand former prime Minister Halen Clark she's now part of the high level people in the un
@thekingminn Says:
Do a video on U Thant next. The first Asian and non-white person to get such an important positon.
@FREAKIN_BRYAN Says:
I wonder if a study on the average IQ in the Congo would shed some light on the situation oh wait.
@stonedwalljackson5806 Says:

@danielgreen1124 Says:
The UN is a worthless and horrible organization.
@michaelinminn Says:
Peace can take place when all sides wish for it.
Absent that, there will be war.
Hammarskjold was a fine man. Evil men are not.
@thegoblin9387 Says:
Dude's last name is badass. "Hammershield"
@CaminoAir Says:
The greatest loss of life of Irish UN peacekeeping forces (in a single engagement) occurred in Katanga in the Congo in 1960. 9 of 11 soldiers were killed. There is a quote of Hammarskjold from Anthony De Mello's 'Awareness': “God does not die on the day we cease to believe in a personal deity. But we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance of wonder renewed daily, the source of which is beyond all reason.”
@Howtododrugs. Says:
Simon can you please do a video on plenty the younger including his account on Pompeii and his life in general
@demonshadow7929 Says:
Henry Clay is someone I would like to see
@davidchunkyonion Says:
Sounds like this guy got whacked.
@barbarapaige4587 Says:
I very much enjoy these videos, but could you please slow down? You speak so fast it is sometimes difficult to follow you. Does any one else have this problem?
@bobfg3130 Says:
I get the feeling Dag Hammarskjold was killed.
@jamescarter5883 Says:
Great video. Could you do a video on either John Glenn or Thomas Jefferson?
@tomhidley6763 Says:
Great vid as always! Ever considered doing a video on great chess players like Morphy perhaps?
@andrewedwards2211 Says:
Can u please do one on Yu sun shin the hero admiral if korea?
