Arnott was confused. "You must have mistaken our usual border guards for something else. I understand, what with tensions being high, but I have given no orders to move troops, and I assure you we do not intend to take any hostile action."
What President Arnott failed to realise, was that she could not speak for the rest of her country. Troops were indeed moving towards Greater Acadia, just not on her orders. While an individual Councillor of Kerlile could not legally give orders to the military, nobody in the military was foolish enough to disobey a Councillor. The only thing that had kept individual Councillors from doing things like this in the past, was an honour system. And that was falling to pieces before the eyes of the world.
