You are forgetting one rather important fact, good sir.....
Russia has not once attacked Spanish troops (except for an unfortunate incident some time back in former Sweden when your boys wouldn't get out of the way).
In contrast, you enlisted Austria and the Ottomans in an extremely threatening Military Alliance against Russia....we have only recently extricated ourselves from the war with the Ottomans, while again only recently gaining the ascendancy in our war against the Austrians......a war, I will remind you again, that Spain brought to our doorstep. In fact, other members of the Grand Alliance were also at war with Austria at a time when Austria was allied with Spain.
Then your Warships - in a totally unprovoked and scandalous attack - sunk 2 of my cargo Ships who were cruising down the coast minding their own business.
You continue to pontificate about Russian "bears" and "bloody" Cossacks, yet Russia continues to refrain from attacking Spain.
So therefore, Mr-Nameless-Leader-of-Spain, the Great Alexander, Czar of Russia, hereby claims the moral high ground in this debate

A critically important dispatch to the Lord Rickety:
Greetings, good cousin 
Firstly, I wish to assure you that the Imperial Russian Empire means no harm to the King of England. We do however, remember our enemies, and Spain is certainly one of them.
Czar Alexander would like to assure your Royal Highness, King George III, of Russia's loyalty to the Imperial Grand Alliance formed in the dark days when that dastardly Republican Napolean threatened the very existence of our noble families.
I ask you, good sir....how many of our Imperial Empires have succumbed to the French way and converted to Republic? The answer is none. We are all still loyal Monarchies, with family ties between our nations that will last forever.
Please remember, oh regal cousin....Russia has always remained faithful to the ideals of the Grand Alliance. Russia has consistently supported her brother-in-arms, Lord Paddy of Prussia, in their struggle for freedom against the French despot. Prussia, you will recall, was in the front lines of the battle against the French and suffered badly at her hands. Russia has done her best to assist Prussia, by gifting her cities of conquest to restore her empire to its former glory.
Russia has also remained faithful to you, oh great King George III, in our moral support of your wars against France and Austria. It is only the tyrrany of distance that has prevented our armies from playing a more active part in the offensive wars you have conducted on the mainland against our common foe.
It is against this background of brotherhood and goodwill that I now ask you to consider your position. Through no fault of your own, you are being courted by the lies of a desperate Spanish despot....whose name we do not yet even know, since there have been 2 revolutions in his land recently. Surely Spain is going the way of France, and will become a revolutionary Republic....a form of government that as you know, is abhorrent to citizens of our class.
There is surely more for me to say to you on this subject, but it is clear that I have said enough already. The choice is clear. In fact, for your royal personage there is essentially no choice. Your heritage demands continued allegiance to your allies, Russia and Prussia.
I look forward to your considered and positive response.
Your friend and cousin
Alexander Romanov, of Russia
