We take offense to this, as we have never even started aggression. Was it not Franco-Burgundy and the Netherlands who consumed the Polish Empire? Did that not upset the balance of power? The only time Brandenburg has acted in any way in war was when Austria annexed Bavaria, something we are sure many of you would decry as a violation of a balance of power. No, Brandenburg has done nothing to warrant this type of treatment from the International Community. As a statement to ALL nations that have signed the Spanish decleration, it was YOU who entered these alliances to start with, it was YOU who perpetuated multiple wars of aggression, be it the Second Orleans War, the Italian Crusade, the War for Prussia, the War for New Britain, the War for the Polish colonies, and countless others, while all Brandenburg has done has tried to prevent Austria from annexing Bavaria. Where were the knights of the "Balance of Power" then, hmm? Why did you give a free hand to Austria, while condemn Brandenburg from speaking out against Scandinavian enslavement of Pomerania?
If you want to decry those as wars of the past, then I can give you modern examples too. Russia actively encourages her settlers to drive into Georgia, hoping to draw the nation into her Empire. The Roman Empire has moved a massive force to the Hungarian border. Spain has displaced the Sultan of Turkey for an INKLING that Rome may have been involved in the Sicilian incident. Franco-Burgundy and Russia have moved thousands of troops to the East, putting a marked increase of pressure on the Empire of Japan. Is the irony not lost on you? You are the ones making these aggresive tactics, Brandenburg has no choice but to align herself with someone in case you vultures turn your eyes upon Berlin.
Brandenburg, from this point on, will make no promises whatsoever on the point of diplomacy outside of the nations of the Krakow Pact, until the Spanish declaration is rescinded and Brandenburg can conduct diplomacy like any other nation in the world.
