No one is trying to argue how correct the decision was from the perspective of people living 100 years later you buffoon. You're grossly over simplifying the issue by pretending that the only reason anyone wanted to go to war was because Europe was at war already.
You ignore the fact that many politicians and citizens saw this as an attack on our sovereignty and a betrayal by trying to turn our neighbor against us. You're an absolute fool to judge that sentiment by your own 100 years later.
How about you talk about contemporary examples like the war on terror instead of trying to seem smart by talking about a war you know little about.
Nah, man. It's not "over simplified;" it's actually just overly simple. You are talking yourself in circles because you are wrong and you realized that you are wrong but you got to save face. It doesn't matter though; we're all friends here.
You're kidding right? You are ignoring the cultural and societal context of the telegram and the war because you cannot possibly think anyone has ever had a different thought in their head than the ones you have.
I am right, you're wrong, and I don't give a shit what some ignorant zoomer thinks.
No, you see, tHE CuLturAL ANd soCietaL cONteXt, was it was used as propaganda to get america involved in a war that wasn't to their benefit and was generally disastrous for all involved. My point is MAYBE DON'T FUCKING DO THAT. Maybe adopt a system where that type of propaganda doesn't have a purpose because our policy is TO NOT GET INVOLVED IN CONFLICTS OUTSIDE OUR SOVEREIGN TERRITORY!
