Lusitania: How Americans Were Tricked into WWI

clipped by: blueridge
clippers remarks: Britain secretly loved this. The words of Churchill here are damning:

Winston Churchill, who was first Lord of the Admiralty and has long been suspected of knowing more about the circumstances of the attack than he let on in public, wrote in a confidential letter shortly before the sinking that some German submarine attacks were to be welcomed.

He said: It is most important to attract neutral shipping to our shores, in the hope especially of embroiling the U.S. with Germany.

For our part we want the traffic - the more the better and if some of it gets into trouble, better still.
Similar was done by FDR to setup and provoke a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Then the Gulf of Tonkin for Vietnam, which was a total fabrication...and on it goes.

Of course Israel provoked Hamas to fire rockets (killing only 1), breaking the cease fire, then stating they were justified in attacking Gaza, killing hundreds.

Secret of the Lusitania: Arms find challenges Allied claims it was solely a passenger ship


Lusitania

Her sinking with the loss of almost 1,200 lives caused such outrage that it propelled the U.S. into the First World War.


But now divers have revealed a dark secret about the cargo carried by the Lusitania on its final journey in May 1915.


Munitions they found in the hold suggest that the Germans had been right all along in claiming the ship was carrying war materials and was a legitimate military target.


The Cunard vessel, steaming from New York to Liverpool, was sunk eight miles off the Irish coast by a U-boat.


Maintaining that the Lusitania was solely a passenger vessel, the British quickly accused the Pirate Hun of
slaughtering civilians.


The disaster was used to whip up anti-German anger, especially in the U.S

Robert Lansing, the U.S. secretary of state, later wrote that the sinking gave him the conviction we would ultimately become the ally of Britain.

Limited War nonsense in Gaza

clipped by: sillysam
Proportionality in war in its Jus ad Bellum sense is only workable when there is a shared framework between the combatants, a sense that there will eventually be a postwar period and that whatever is being disputed is not important enough to go to the point of total war. For non-revisionist powers this is feasible, since both sides agree that whatever they are fighting over is not so important that they will seek to annihilate each other. In short, they dont fight total wars over limited objectives.

But by the same token you should not fight limited war over total objectives, nor when objectives are asymmetric. We faced that disconnect in Vietnam ? we limited the war we fought because we pursued limited objectives. The North Vietnamese fought an unlimited war with revisionist objectives (conquest of the South). We figured in time they would give up because we could not be defeated. They would not give up because we chose not to defeat them, and they knew it.
