WHEREAS we believe that Genoa has conspired with the Hungarians to undermine Venetian independence and,
WHEREAS Genoa has incited the Protestant rabble rousers to wreak havoc in Salzburg and,
WHEREAS Genoan spies were caught in Salzburg conspiring with Protestant insurgents and
WHEREAS there has been no effort on the part of the Genoan government to seek our forgiveness, be it known now that a state of war exists between Austria and Genoa.
Hungary has not conspired with Genoa. Do you believe that they have used us?
Our "fair and balanced" spies, cattlefarmers and handmaidens say otherwise. There is "no spin" in their reports, so far as we know. We will, however, examine our "failures in pre-war intelligence" in and promise not to take "pre-emptive" action in the future when there is no clear and present danger. We felt that in this case it was better to fight the Genoans "over there" than to risk further attacks on our homeland.
Hungary, we are not holding this against you.. we fear you were manipulated to these ends unknowingly. We have already offered our forgiveness in your diplomatic channels.

This is good. We hold no aggression toward you and just wanted to clear up any thoughts of Hungary conspiring against you and certainly not hold it against you for defending yourself.
