The part that most people don't think about is that GA's largest stretch of border is adjacent to the realm with the largest military force, by far. Aenilia right now has two options- fight alongside Arcaea or fight only when Arcaea doesn't. Picking a fight against Arcaea would spell destruction for the realm.
It's easy to take snipe shots from further away at GA's stance. But in all honesty, I'm beginning to understand why Switzerland chose the way they did. The one time we tried to flex recently, Arcaea flexed at triple the strength.
GA (when it was TA) used to take the wars to the other realms in an effort to avoid them ever happening on TA's soil. Those days, and those nobles, are long gone unfortunately. And yes, it was always thinly veiled as religious/righteous indignation.
