With all the major powers excluding SAE and Japan beloning to the same alliance bloc and the absolute superiority of this alliance bloc over any potential threat how do you explain the ever expanding fleets (and budgets) to the taxpayers?

I agree with Vuk, but the existence of this alliance web does not mean anything. Nation A might be indirectly linked to Nation B through this web, but that does not mean that Nation A and Nation B are buddies.

ABC in South America is a "defensive" alliance? Against which aggressor?
No, no. ABC is in no way meant to be defensive. It is all about isolating the SAE on that continent and driving its forces, that protect Grand Uruguay, back into the Sea.

Grand Uruguay is largely independant from South Africa in that it has its own culture, mix of languages and economical background. I do not see what a separation from the rest of the SAE would gain Grand Uruguay apart from becoming a target for megalomania dreams of some South American regime in the neighborhood?

Well, of those ABC powers Brasil clearly is the mad dog while Argentina generally reacts reasonable and difference with the SAE may be smaller than expacted among people. Chile on the other hand seems to be more like a nominal member, opportunistic at times. They seek close relations to the SAE at times, also buying a lot of SAE stuff and then they can be seen sabre rattling again against "foreign intruders".

So to me it sounds like split tounge when Chile says "the ABC alliance is intended to prevent the SAE - or any other power - from intervening in South American politics". And if I were part of ABC, I´d better not bet on the reliability of Chilean support.

The fastest way to break apart ABC probably is to wage war against it and conquer most of southern South America - not because the SAE wants to, but because she is forced to as those ABC power deny the Empire its right of existance.

Ha, THAT's a joke! Give the ABC Alliance twenty years and there'd still be no chance that, even united, they could destroy the SAE: they'd have to cross an ocean to do it, and develop an economy ten times what they've got now in order to sustain it! Maybe given enough time they could drive the SAE out of Gran Uruguay, but there'd be no way to make that stick if the SAE decided to continue with the war anyway. Claiming that the ABC Alliance threatens the "Empire's right of existence" is a farce - a sign that the South Africans either have an overly-inflated view of ABC's military and economic potential, or have a very pessimistic view of their own nation's abilities to withstand a war against ABC. (Given the zoo of cultures the SAE incorporates, I'd presume the latter a lot sooner than the former.)
