A lot of my cousins have been saying stuff behind my back about me so I did an interview with the Daily Telegraph to put the record straight. Only thing is, when they sent me the article to make sure it was okay before publishing it, I couldn't be bothered to edit it because I'm the Kaiser, so I fobbed it off on my secretary (I think the official title is Chancellor but I've not read the constitution so I don't know). Turns out I accidentally called the English "mad as March hares", and said that France and Russia tried to get me to join the Boer War.
Now everyone is pissed off at me. AITA?
NTA. Not your fault that your underlings can't be motivated to do their jobs
YTA Wilhelm. You're always gonna be an asshole. I bet you regret firing me huh? And it is Chancellor, I invented that damn position.
NTA. It seems you've been trying so hard to get your cousins to like you! And the British... how can they not see it's the right of powerful nations to have a competent navy? They have one of their own, I think they're just jealous that they can see all those brand new ships just sitting in front of their island while theirs are old and smelly and scattered all round the world.
You know what? Build more. Let those damn Reichstag members worry about "budgets" and "welfare". Who cares?
NTA.
Obviously, it’s not your fault for pointing out how ridiculous the British are behaving, and that the French and cousin Niki have always been two faced to them. You were only trying to help them see their error after all!
YTA for not checking it yourself. Sure, she's your secretary, she's supposed to help you with things but bottom line is it was your responsibility to make sure things are correct and ok. You didn't and now you have to deal with everyone being mad at you.
ESH, you should have made sure the chancellor did his job (and he should have done his job vetting the article!)
NTA, obviously, they’re British! Also, consider a war with Russia soon, I hear they’re modernizing fast.
YTA next time proof read the article!
Oi mate,
YTA. And i'm gonna tell ya why so listen up. Every single one of your cousins has ruled better then you. You're really reaching for things and some people would give their left arm to be in his position. Let the king rule, and go do your... german...expansionist... project, I'm sure that will turn out well for you.
NTA: They’ve wanted to destroy your country since before you ascended the throne.
