re: #321 wheat-dogghazi

Wilson was firm in his conviction that America would only be a neutral arbitrator among the belligerents. The mood in the States was isolationist, and Wilson’s own religious faith and pacifism further slowed down our entry. Meanwhile, the British Labor Party was in power, and it was also isolationist and pacifist in tenor. Russia was a clusterfuck of weak leadership, corrupt and lazy military leaders, ill-equipped soldiers and disorganized supply chains. And France was similarly disorganized in its reaction to the German invasion.

Germany caught everyone with their pants down.

I thought he Liberals led by Asquith were in power. Anyhow, Wilson is a tough nut to crack for me.
