I either don't block the spade draws at all with those hands, or only block one spade, so he's more likely to be drawing (which I do discount some based on sizing of the flop donk, which is almost pot-sized), so raise is for value and to protect. Would probably also raise for value with AQ, especially no spades.
If I'm bluffing here, I'd rather do it with a hand that doesn't have showdown value. I'd rather bluff-raise the NFD here for instance and hope to fold out a pair worse than a queen or very weak top pair.
Edited to add - I also wouldn't exclude AA or KK from V's range. I for some reason see these get flatted more and more pre, especially AA.
