In all seriousness though, it's not like they were just being nice and loved war... They really did want to avoid a large European war. WWI was a worst-case-scenario in brinksmanship and failure of governments to draw correct boundaries... or as we call today: "red lines".

When someone declares a "red line" or fails to respond to follow-through with the military threat, the other nations get bold and encouraged and so they start ignoring "red lines", and then before you know it, both sides have overstepped their bounds and must initiate war. They'll say "well I told you not to cross that boundary! Look what you did, you started a war!" And the other guy will be like "well I didn't think you'd overreact like this! I thought you'd let me walk all over you!"

It was the vagueness (as noted in those telegrams, where the ambassadors are saying something different than the leaders' telegrams and then X country makes a false assumption that Y country will not react to Z action, and that's when World Wars begin).

As noted for WWI, all the diplomats & leaders thought that war could be avoided. But through brinksmanship and vague-threats, someone misinterpreted something, and before the ambassadors could pull on the brakes, the war had already begun.

In schools sometimes they explain WWI as just a "problem with alliances" or offensive-pacts, but that was only a part of the cause (nations have had alliances throughout human history). The real problems were communications and expressing clear-intentions. When intentions aren't clear and reactions of countries cannot be predicted, that's when wars happen. Unpredictability, empty threats, and vagueness leads to war.

edit: In case you were looking for a historical book about some of these European wars and the recipes & diplomatic actions that led to world wars

Henry Kissinger book "World Order". In short, society is a mob without the inheritance of leadership.

> I bet you tell everyone how you just are so accepting of everyone and everything and don't ever judge.

The fact that you think this is how normal people act is a sign of just how out-of-touch you are.

You've voluntarily put yourself in a box of conspiracy and paranoia. I'm the guy looking down the well, and I actually do sympathize with you even if you don't want to hear that and are gonna take that as super-condescending. I've been so far down that rabbit hole and now I have people accusing me of being "Team Clinton" whatever that means. It's amazing.

What books have influenced your world view? I will tell you the last one I read, and it will probably piss you off https://www.amazon.com/World-Order-Henry-Kissinger/dp/0143127713

Name a conspiracy book you've read or heard of.

Let's get it started then. What would you be interested in reading? I have some options on my reading list, maybe you are interested. If not, you can also suggest some titles and then we can decide.

  • On China, Henry Kissinger I read his book on world order a couple of weeks ago and I enjoyed it a lot. He played a major role in reestablishing diplomatic relations with China, so I think this might turn out to be an interesting read.
  • The Glorious Cause, Robert Middlekauff This US history book spans the period prior to the independence up to it's aftermath (1763-1789). Chronologically speaking, it is the first book in the Oxford series on the history of the United States. I have heard great things about this series, in particular McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom. I plan to read the whole series little by little.
  • The Global Minotaur, Yanis Varoufakis I learned about this book by reading his more recent book And the Weak Suffer What They Must?. This is more of a history of political economy, and covers the period from the end of WWII to the 2008 crisis. As far as I know, Global Minotaur covers the same period as the book I read but focuses more on the US than Europe. I'm not an economist, so there are some things I wasn't able to understand, but for the most part I had no problem at all and enjoyed it quite a bit.

  • Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell I learned about this book reading a collection of essays by Chomsky entitled on Anarchism. Here, Chomsky talks about some rare "truly socialist" movement that appeared in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War. This movement was crushed by both Franco's military coup and the Soviet army. Orwell fought there and this book narrates his experience. Given the great experience I had reading 1984, I think this could be a very interesting read.

  • The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand I have hear many things for and against this author, but I have never read it. I have also heard that this book is better from a literary standpoint than Atlas Shrugged, and also was written earlier, so this could be a good starting point.

Trump is anti-establishment.

​

I have several more books in my library - Here are some I recommend:

​

One is Henry Kissingers - World Order. - This one is to be read with care not to fall into the trap of 'excusing' what kissinger did.. After all it is written by Henry Kissinger himself.

​

And Hitchens (Leftist who I actually admire) - Shutdown of Henry Kissinger as a War Criminal in several speeches and books. His book on Cyprus is especially illuminating.

Cyprus - Christopher Hitchens

​

Here is a video, incase you are not interested in the above books - Christopher Hitchens 2001 The Case Against Henry Kissinger".

​

Kissinger is Hillaries main advisor:

​

Here is a clip of Bernie himself calling out Hillary on Kissinger. And Hillary expressing openly that she supports and admires Kissinger in her book, and again live in debate as a source of valuable information on foreign policy.

Sanders calls out Clinton on taking advice from Henry Kissinger

​

Henry Kissinger orchestrated many crimes against humanity. One for example, is Turkish occupation of Cyprus because of the 'threat' of 'communist' influence. And the fact that Turkey was one of the USA's main allies at the time. And he wanted the 'unsikable land-strip that is the Island of Cyprus controlled by a close ally. (Turkeys position as a US ally has changed substantially since those times yet still relevant, on the way Kissinger thinks).

He denies his involvement to this day. But it was obvious, when you see the work presented by Hitchens. (Not to mention all the other direct wars the USA was involved from Vietnam to everything else). He gave information and incentive to the Cypriot far right, to launch an overthrow of their own government promising American support even. Knowing full well that Turkey would invade. He kept silent, and let it unfold. (Ofcourse kissinger, plays both sides. He is the FACE of the establishment).

​

Henry Kisisnger was the policy advisor of Bush, Nixon, Obama, and Hillary.

​

So you are right when you say that Trump is not a traditional Conservative!!!! Great that you see that. And thats EXACTLY why he is so much more attractive.

​

Bernie and Trump both share a cross over of voters actually. So in the end it becomes about economic Policy which one should support. And I find that Bernies solutions and rhetoric is unrealistic. (I mean, not that the USA had a choice anywyas, since Bernie could not even beat Hillary, in the leftist preliminaries). Also Bernie has aligned himself with radical leftists and Islamists which is concerning.

​

It always entertains me how the neo-leftists like to assume I learn't nothing from these books, when many have not actually read them. And much of their entire world view, is based on virtue signalling.

​

What is even more interesting, is how the left, does not see how the establishment and MSM news network constantly try and paint Trump negatively, since he is anti-establishment. If you see what he actually says and does.. Vs how the media paints him.. You clearly see, how the media focuses only on the 'negative' and changing the story.

You see if I someone followed you around with a camera your whole life.. He could paint you also as quite a tyrant, if that was his only goal.
