I would expect better of my successor. When I was Minister of Propaganda I tried to remain positive, and when on the attack focused myself on the individual in question, not those around him-- your art is good (better than mine, in many cases), but your propaganda needs some work. PM me some time maybe we can share some ideas and I can give you some pointers. Remember: the goal of Propaganda is to appeal to the pathos of the crowd and turn them in favour of your alliance. This is key: know the pathos.

As for this whole mess, I suppose I ought to throw my two cents in as a former TGE member. Further, I have been asked to comment by a friend.
I have no love for Frederick; he was someone I regarded as a friend who betrayed me out of paranoia-- I honestly felt some empathy for [ooc] Ernst Röhm [/ooc]after the whole affair. Nor have I any especial regard for many of the present members of the TGE government. I say this not to stir emotion but rather because I feel I should be honest and forthright.
Nevertheless, from what I have read, it seems to me that this is a situation better left to sit, unless TGE wants to pursue it more. I have seen quite a number of "post deleted" edits in the course of all of this-- I would hope that cooler heads will prevail in this situation ultimately and TGE and EU be left to make their own bad decisions. Everyone will reap the consequences of their decisions, and if EU truly are throwing themselves to the wolves, then let them be devoured. I believe firmly that they are being foolish by siding so vigourously with TGE-- but that is my personal opinion, and I, along with everyone else who has taken the anti-TGE side here, may end up being wrong. I don't think we will, but we might be.
My advice to Michigans Own is to do what he seems best, he's been sorely mistreated by TGE now and in the past. It is his business to be upset with the situation as much as it is EU's business if they want to throw in with TGE.
I think it goes without saying, of course, that everything I and Flinders have said is spoken as private individuals with pasts tied to TGE-- we do not speak on behalf of Nordreich, which has no opinion of the situation.
