William III, King of the Netherlands,,It is only an utterly insane man that would assume an alliance is a mutual surrender of sovereignty! Even in the unlikely event that Albert Edward has not been slanderously lying—or worse, insanely muttering—in every syllable that has come out of his mouth regarding this affair, and some member of the Eighth Coalition did indeed engage in talks with the United States, it would obviously not be in London's place to question them. After all, is it not the case that the British have just confessed to escalating the war in the same such manner, regarding Mexico?
The British Republic has already declared itself in a state of war with the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Were that not already the case, I am confident that I would be receiving such a declaration this moment, signed in rage by Albert Edward, frustrated at having had his completely baseless suspicions torn asunder, and his public declaration of his efforts to escalate the war via Mexico's involvement reduced to a state of obvious inappropriateness. This is a European war, being fought for the national unity of various European peoples. It is in my place as the King of the Netherlands that I denounce any continued efforts by Britain or her allies to increase the scale of the war and bring the related hardships and violence of war throughout the entire world. What Britain has done in Mexico disturbs me, and ought disturb any peace-loving nation in the whole of the Latin American region as well.
To rebuke the faux logic expressed by the British Prime Minister: The Head of State of the Ottoman Empire is the Caliph of Islam. Albert's British Republic is allied with the Ottoman Empire. Under this idea that alliances are sovereign entities, where all of the elements of any one member transfer to all the others, would that then make Britain an Emirate, rather than a Republic? If that is the case, I would like to advise Mr. Edward to cease the process of changing his country's name on a yearly basis. First a kingdom, then a republic, then an emirate... I am sure that the poor people of Great Britain must be becoming entirely confused as to what to call their fine country, given the circumstances.
