Would you be interested in a Mytakes on one of the greatest political geniuses that ever lived, Cardinal Mazarin?

[Julie4]

[nightdrot]

Put me down for a "Yes." It would be really interesting to hear your insights on the topic.

Oh, and perhaps you can clarify the rumor that he was a huge rap fan.

[Julie4]

I don't know exactly how I'm going to approach this Mytakes, as his background is complex and vast.

However, I'm sure you'll be impressed by this character.

After all, he was personally appointed by Richelieu as his worthy successor, and Richelieu left her in a rather catastrophic situation, both domestically and internationally.

[nightdrot]

Believe me, I believe that if anyone can pull this off - it is you. You are smart, articulate and knowledgeable. I am sure it will be a fascinating read.

Just don't forget to research is stand on rap music. (Oh, when you get tired of my rap music jokes, just let me know.)

[Julie4]

No, I like your jokes. Unfortunately Monsieur le cardinal didn't live long enough to know about the birth of Rap , he was a classic type you see. But I'm sure he would have loved rap, and I'm not losing hope of making you and my family love it too 🤣

[nightdrot]

Oh, c'mon now!! You know rap is timeless. I'll bet Mazarin was rappin' to it all day!!

[Julie4]

Unfortunately GAG doesn't accept my Mytake, telling me it's either too long or too short. We have the right to 20000 characters and I was well within the limit, then I largely shortened my text it tells me the same thing and when I lengthen it , again the same thing. So I don't understand lol

[nightdrot]

Try contacting them directly - which I believe you can do through the site. I am NO tech guy, but it is possible that their is a glitch. It detected your word pattern or some such and so is shutting you down on auto-pilot, so to speak.

Don't give up! I'm dying to know what rap songs he liked!!

[Julie4]

Oh, I did it! I had to reduce my text much, much more. It's a shame because I had to delete a lot of things that were still important. But I think I've managed to write the essentials, oh sorry there's no rap, I would have loved to haha

[nightdrot]

Great!! It is family day - I was just on here because I had a few spare minutes - but I'll try to take a look at it by tomorrow.

Congrats!! Too bad about the rap music though. That is the question that most historians are still pondering!!

[Julie4]

Give my love to your family, I hope they are well.

Take care of yourselves

[RavVid]

I think that would be helpful to understand that period Julie, so I would be grateful if you did.

[Julie4]

Yes, it's true, and Mazarin was truly a political maestro. He was a worthy successor to Richelieu.

It's interesting to see Richelieu how much he influenced Kissinger when you read Richelieu's political testament.

[RavVid]

I look forward to the my take. Why did Kissinger go to China recently do you think? Is he a back channel with a mission?

[Julie4]

I don't know to be honnest

[RavVid]

He didn't ring me either.

[SnowedIn]

Honestly, no.

Unless it's 100% you thoughts/opinions and an insightful new idea. Otherwise we have the library and Wikipedia and online encyclopedia, etc.

[Julie4]

No, it will be more of an analysis of its political results, etc. And to write it, I'll take inspiration from things written by historians.

[SnowedIn]

Okay, that would be good!

[Andres77]

Yes, I’ve never heard of him, but I’m very curious as to why you think he was the greatest politician.

Besides him being French, of course

[Avicenna]

Absolutely. We don't learn enough about him in European History class.

[Dargil]

No, But I'd read Lao Tzu, Machiavelli and (!) Saul Alinsky.

[Iron_Man]

I’d rather see one on William Wallace even though he’s not from your country

[DarkWinterNights]

Interesting choice, why the interest?

[RyanEC]

Yes, that would be interesting.

[Mettbltt]

I just know he from france

[OddBeMe]

Never ask, just do.
