How exactly did I word it? Like I said, just replace 'Bulgaria' with 'Serbia' and it makes perfect sense...hardly reason for you to stay up until 5 AM Sarcasm . Big Grin Big Grin


Only it wouldn't have made perfect sense because nobody is talking about Serbia, and if you do nothing but replace "Bulgaria" with "Serbia, you look like some kind of weirdo faggot who's having a conversation with himself.

As for the 5 AM, I have an interesting sleep schedule. Your e-peen must be huge if you think it has anything to do with you.

1. You're taking all the blame off Russia, which was the first great power to mobilize it's forces against another.


Not all the blame, but I do disagree with SoQRadio's assertion that Russia is most to blame. You and him both make the lazy intelectual mistake of confusing "Mobilize" with "Attack".

2. You're instead putting most of the blame on Germany for reacting to this mobilization with a formal declaration of war.


Yes. That elevates things. A formal declaration of war is far more aggressive than simply "mobilizing". For example, the US "mobilizes" against nations all the time, most recently in some clusterfuck with some North Korean ships or something. Yet you don't see any World Wars starting there yet, do you?

Beyond simply declaring war, they were also the first to attack and invade. From a purely military standpoint there's nothing wrong with that, and there's even some advantage to be had, but politically it doesn't look good, and earns you a majority blame.

3. You're holding Yugoslavia (you're saying Serbia, but I can't be bothered to freak out on someone for mixing up country names) as a whole accountable because a Serb killed Franz Ferdinand.


Yeah. This happens all the time, like Afghanistan being held responsible for the 9/11 attacks, or the "nation" of Palestine being held responsible for the 1972 Munich massacre. This is the way blame for terrorist attacks (Like the assassination of Ferdinand) works.
