Oh, did I not mention the fact that you tried to feed us the weak $@! excuse "we forgot you were at war with them"? Come on, people across CN that aren't even allied to us and sure as hell don't even LIKE us know that fact.
Or the fact that under that relationship IRON was perfectly allowed to do anything it pleased and we would just go "ok, cool" meanwhile the instant ODN stepped off the party line we had you guys breathing down our necks?
I forget who said it, but the best analogy I've heard for the treaty was this:
IRON was always walking with ODN, only problem was that they were too busy talking on the phone with NPO to actually pay attention to what ODN wanted to talk about.
IRON has always been about yourselves first, and I don't blame you. Self first is a great policy. Such a great policy that ODN decided to adopt it, and we couldn't care about ourselves first with you stepping all over our sovereignty all the time.
So sure, maybe we'll get rolled now that we don't have the big bad ferrous machine obligated to defend us, but you know what, at least we'll get rolled doing what we believe in and not just following someone else around.
