Great article as always, would also suggest the British were not as innocent at first blush. Secret service espionage working with the black hand, because of the Berlin to Baghdad railway. They couldn't let Germany get its hands on the oil either by trade or war. The British fleet had decided on oil to power the ships!!! Interesting of note that the first action of the British army was in .......Basra lol 😆 🤣 😂 "defending poor little Belgium from the hun"

I almost included the railway, but I didn’t know about the Secret Service. Makes sense, though. I do sometimes wonder who is the progenitor of foreign policy.

The more i look it seems to be the wealthy and powerful who have been for thousands of years, Phoenicians, Babylonia, merchants bankers and families that have been in charge behind the scenes of all empires

The human experience, one which they are notably reluctant to acknowledge.
