A lot of stuff came out of the USSR. They were big on disinformation.
Not respecting Belgium’s neutrality was pure bellicosity, no matter how one slices it.

Not respecting Belgian neutrality was a major faux-pas (French for f**k up), but it was done out of desperation. The Germans felt that they needed to knock out France firs and quickly or they would lose the war. They re-instituted unrestricted submarine warfare also out of desperation. They were unable to feed their population adequately due to the English blockade. The blockade rules at the time precluded counting food as war supplies, but England did it anyway.
