Actually let's explain those acronyms since apparently you're used to smoking hash instead of thinking proper. M stands for Mutual which means... (wait for it) (of a feeling or action) experienced or done by each of two or more parties towards the other or others. D means Defense! which means.... the action of defending from or resisting attack. P means Pact.... what does that mean I wonder? a formal agreement between individuals or parties.

I'm with you Caz. I've been in blocs, the thinking process they're describing is not how blocs should operate. If anyone stands by that kind of statement their political capital will be burned to a crisp even if they manage to pull off a win. There's no reason to sign a Mutual defense treaty if it is now optional when direct attacks are made. A mutual defense pact recognizes an attack on your treaty partner as an attack on yourself meant to be met by your own military might.

Wait is SK in the bloc too? I think I'm missing something here...
