I don't propose we invalidate the TNI treaty, though legally we are able to do so with 5 days notice. I think we should be able to have treaties with both TNI and TRR. It's TNI that will have objections to that, though, especially if we agree to defend TRR against a UIAF attack.

While we're allied with TNI, we will always be constrained by what they want. That's my problem with the alliance. We get nothing out of it, but there are a ton of costs. People brush it off as, "Of course we're going to be limited by our treaties. We can't act contrary to the interests of an ally." But I think we rushed into the TNI treaty during a moment of euphoria, following the downfall of Milograd, and didn't actually consider the very real diplomatic costs of putting TNI on a high pedestal in this region. (Edit: For the record, got my timeline mixed up there.) If we were considering signing the treaty today, knowing full well it would meaning signing over to TNI control over which defender groups we work with, would we sign it? I certainly wouldn't support that.

TNI likes declaring perpetual wars for dumb reasons. The UIAF will always be at war with the entirety of defenderdom. They are a costly ally. So why do we keep putting this alliance above everything else?
