Different crop, different people, but the same sin. I believe Brazil has been aware of this threat also but believes they can avoid it through peace treaties and mere words of man which to the tyrants in the south mean nothing. they only respect one thing that is power and to believe you can avoid any conflict with them is silly and childish after the union they will have no where to go but turn south towards your people. we see this time and time again such as with my dearest friends in the union have done with the savages that roamed their west. they required more room so they took it. but the difference there is that they where fighting inferiors and primitive peoples but now the south will bring their armies down upon good willed god fearing people whom they will also seek to enslave. As for Prussia's statement on the french, I support the acts of my Prussian brothers and believe their actions are needed to keep the french in check. I fear that the American Influance has spread too much into europe and I and I do believe President Lincoln will agree that we want the problems of Europe to be seperate from the problems of the Americas. While I do believe austria's attempts to prevent a war between the Prussians and the french are admirable they are sadly not going to work, and I do implore Austria to do the same and join us in our alliance to protect the integrity and seperation of the American and European powers. I shall stand strong with the Prussians against the french tide which hopes to destroy european neutrality in american problems and wars. -Alexander The 2nd Tsar and Autocrat of the Russias, King of Poland, Grand Prince of France [/center]
