A warmonger from the start:-
First World War. Sinking of the Lusitania by Bill Purkayastha, 1 /1/09
‘It should be obvious to anyone
with any sense that if the sub is afraid that any ship that it approaches might
try to ram it, or open fire with hidden guns, it will not surface and make
itself a target. And if it has reason to think that enemy ships are flying
neutral flags, it might as well disregard the neutral flag and assume that any
ships it encounters are hostile.
How to involve the US?
What Mr
Churchill has achieved, by his actions, is therefore to put at risk every ship
and every sailor on those ships, even if they belong to neutral nations and are
completely innocent of all involvement in the war. It is inconceivable that he
does not know what he is doing….’
