- ctdonath 11y agoBecause otherwise independent land with no army tends to get overrun by those who do have an army. When you need one, it's too late to get one.
- morganvachon 11y agoThey don't need armies, they need allies. The problem then becomes finding an ally with a strong army but without a strong inclination to use said army to take over your micronation.
- ctdonath 11y agoThe ally needs some motivation to take on someone else's existential threats as their own. Lots of treaties and posturing may dampen would-be aggressors' motivation, but as the USA has demonstrated of late re: Ukraine vs Russia, all too often promises of military protection don't mean $#!^.
