There is a threshold where that happens but not sure 23 is it. Horrible situation - I am praying for the families of all the victims. |

Having said that, Danzig's post about the Zimmerman telegram makes a much more concrete case, and the Lusitania sinking would be of lesser importance. Apparently my high school history teacher generalized a bit too much. Independent of all this theory, I would say the opposite - we ought to steer clear of a confrontation with the Russians if we can avoid it. PS. Good luck to you as well in Saratoga. And everyone else. Wishing our guys many big ticket winners. |

in '17, germany felt they were on the cusp of winning, with good reason. they thought a few more months of very tough action on their part would end it. so, after several times of them increasing strikes on shipping, only to have us make them stop, the ramped it up again. they figured by the time we got word that shipping was once again an issue, and if we tried to do anything, it would be too late. but then the zimmerman note came to light. we'd been having issues with mexico (where pershing and patton had been, taking on pancho villa) already. mexico would never have done what germany wanted, but it was one too many things germany had done. we went in, turned the tide, and that was that. i sometimes wonder, tho....what if we'd not gotten involved then? the changes to history would have been astonishing. |

an IP address at VGTRK, the state-run TV and radio network, edited the Russian-language Wikipedia page about aviation accidents to say that Malaysia Air Flight MH17 “was shot down by Ukrainian soldiers.” |
