just seen as to what to do with that, but you're righting is that wilson didn't have professional diplomats helping him. he had edward house. he had robert lancing who was just be a international lawyer really whom wilson regarded as more than a clerk who was secretly conconspiring to get the americans on the side of the allies which is not what wilson wanted at all. wilson had a couple of young diplomats, william butler in london who was a junior diplomat but brilliant, the young joseph grew in berlin. there were good american diplomats in the service at it and they were sending interesting advice back to washington, but it wasn't being used or heed, so it's -- it's -- that's what is so incredibly tragic about this. you can blame the german generals for their hawkishness, their yearning for the submarine panacea, their yearning to find some way of finally beating down bethmann and showing that the military was really in charge in german, yes. they deserve all the blame that you want to heap upon them, but this problem was eminently solvable in january 1917 and wilson had all the tools in his hand to solve it. he had

but you write that wilson did not have professional tickets stopping them he had edward house. he had robert langston who was just an international lawyer really, that wilson just regarded as a bit more than a clerk. he was secretly conspiring to try to get the americans in the war. which is not wilson wanted it all. he had a couple of younger good diplomats advising him. william had them in a buckler in london who was a junior diplomat, but brilliant. the young joseph -- in berlin. there were some good diplomats in the american service at that time. and they were given and sending some really interesting advice back to washington. but it was not being used or heated. so, it's -- that is what is so incredibly tragic about this. you can blame the german generals for their hawkish this, their yearning for the -- their yearning to find a way to beat down batman and show who the germany -- they deserve all of the blame. but... this problem was solve a bill in january 19, 17 and woodrow had all the tools it is hand to solve it. he had absolute financial leverage over the allies. they

another well known whistleblower waited on twitter. edward snowden condemned the cause decision and praised hale. wilson got reaction from a former us drone operator who was so lifted the lead on what his work involved. random bryant says the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public aware his conscience made up his mind. it's really a war on, through the night just whistleblowers. we've got people that have been propagating this war over in the middle east for almost 2 decades now. the government is at war with its own people. if you can't, you're part of the machine. the car runs this machine. yeah. you have to bear witness for not just some unfeeling part of the machine you're feeling. and eventually you have to find yourself in the middle of that storm and be like, you know, this, i have to do, i have to do this because if i don't do it, who's going to i find it strange that conscientious individuals that are inside the program that are trying to hold us accountable for the obvious blayton war crimes that we ourselves are doing are being punished. and it seems that they are pun
