In a 5-0 decision, the ENAA has elected NOT to grant the Kingdom of Reitzmag nuclear weapons as this time. While the ENAA concerns previously expressed over its security and potential handling of weaponry have improved in the technical aspects, the ENAA fears that the diplomatic area has not as improved as much.
There were two concurring thoughts among the ENAA.
One camp cited the recent Strait Crisis in which the Reitzmics involved themselves as an area of concern similar to the UNSR crisis in 2020 and that the Kingdom of Reitzmag was still acting as a provocative state that can not be trusted with nuclear weaponry.
Another camp cited continued Reitzmic romanticism of conflict in its popular culture, including the newly integrated mass conscription system in the country, as well as Reitzmic paranoia towards other nations. There was a belief that the Kingdom of Reitzmag would be potentially quick to pull the trigger so to speak in any conflict it felt pushed into a corner in.
The ENAA would like to address the attempts from outside parties to sway the ENAA's decision. The ENAA is a neutral body, it does not side with, nor specifically care what side of a conflict or dispute a party may be on. It cares about the specific actions, counters, and statements a party makes during those events. The ENAA is not meant to influence parties to change their behaviors and the same is expected of parties outside the ENAA in regards to the treatment of the ENAA.
The ENAA is an independent body, and no influence or statement from outside parties has any bearing on its decisions.
The ENAA welcomes the Kingdom of Reitzmag to reapply in one years time, and that no applications will be considered until that time.
