Who is to BLAME for World War One - 100 Years On

BBC News: Has ten different viewpoints on who is to blame for World War One.

Lets Get Real: 

This blog likes to be different, its not who is to blame, its WHAT, and that is a simpler answer, it was technology, ALL the powers had to move troops, thus the WHAT was to blame for the War was train timetables, once WAR looked like the result the Military had to move troops to face the threat from their viewpoint, once the Russians mobilised their troops the Germans needed a quick victory in the West, thus the invasion of Belgium, one of the contributors states the following and is close to this blog's view of World War One and the role of Imperial Germany,Finally, they violated international treaties by invading Luxemburg and Belgium knowing that the latter violation was virtually certain to bring in Britain... ".  Although the invasion of Belgium SOLD the War to the public, the British Empire could not allow France to FALL, this would have made Imperial Germany the central power in Europe and a threat to the British Empire in the long term.   Thus the WHAT that pushed the powers to WAR was the railways, the WHO was Germany, a Kaiser so saw the threat to late, and could not back down or stop the developments that lead to World War One. 

Hillary Clinton and REVENGE - 2016 Election

CNN - Politics: Reports on more secrets from the archive of a late friend of Hillary Clinton, the latest is the then First Lady asking how to keep records of her time in the White House, the article notes the following, When asked why, according to the friend’s June 20, 1994, diary entry, Clinton said, “Revenge.”.

Lets Get Real:

The US voter has to asked do they want another Richard Nixon in the White House, we have heard that in 2008 the Clinton Campaign kept a list of those that had been seen to betray the former First Lady and then Senator when she ran against President Obama, with ALL the good stuff that comes with the Clintons, they are real policy wonks, there is also the scandals and the women, the article notes that Hillary Clinton called Monica Lewinsky a “narcissistic loony toon.”, can a President Hillary Clinton keep Bill under control, can Bill Control himself, one does lose count of actual women and the alleged women from his time as Governor and President.    Politics is an art, Clinton is seen as the front runner for the Democrats in 2016, three years is a long time, we shall see if its another Clinton vs. Bush match up again, it could be back to the future again.
