2. "...wishes to return to her family, then, of course, the Atlas military will escort her home. But the kingdom will not be responsible for..." This is showing Cordo is willing to get Weiss onto said transport to ask permission to return herself, it says nothing about promising her entry into Atlas itself, rather her willingness to escort her home(which might not even be in Atlas proper).

This is something you'll find is commonplace among any embassy, they others have nothing to give her as proof they need entry, so she has nothing to give the council, but she feels confident they'll allow Weiss to return as her father is literally ON said council, what are they gonna do, say "fuck off"?

It's like how the American embassy left many native wives, kids, etc in the end days of the Vietnam war, but took all the citizens it could out. 1. That is based on assumptions as to what he means. When if you take it at face value, which this show consistently forces the viewers to do, he basically said no one enters unless I say so. Especially with Jacques' next line.

Jacques: You mean, without your permission?

Ironwood: And if that becomes the case, I would think you'd want to be on my good side.

Nothing about military transports escorting the person just to ask permission, which would be a lapse in judgement anyway since by that point they could try and strongarm their way in no matter how futile in the face of numerous warships, just the basic "Unless I say so", and since the CCT is down, that means all intercontinental communication is done via letter.

2. Again, assumptions. The way its presented is simple, Cordo is letting Weiss go home because she's a Schnee, has her two "Best Men" escorting her, and is hoping for brownie points for doing this.

Cordovin: I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part. (winks and walks away)

Nothing about sending Weiss to try and ask permission for re-entry.

3. Stop trying to apply real-world logic to this show. The world of Remnant is not the same as Earth, and a lot of things don't operate on the same way they'd do on Earth.

A. They have hover technology, the internet, various uses for what can be called a volatile fuel source, and yet they can't have intercontinental communication without four massive relay towers all being up, and if one goes down, they all do.

B. The only one with a stable form of military shown is the nation that militarized itself, while the other nations all rely on glorified mercenaries.

C. Teenagers are being trained to handle highly dangerous weaponry and fight monsters when in the real world that would be considered making child soldiers, which is considered a violation of human rights. And yet its so normalized and romanticized that children are ready to jump on the bandwagon thinking they can be heroes or adventurers.

D. Every single character with a weapon is able to maintain their weapons without signs of rust or wear despite how much money it would cost to maintain them irl.

E. The White Fang are treated more like a nuisance than the terrorist group they are, and unlike real world military operations, no efforts are shown to be made to try and stop them, rather authorities simply react to their escapades, only actually getting anything done thanks to an outside militia bothering to warn them first.

Trying to apply real world logistics to Remnant is like trying to treat a wolf like they're a domesticated dog. While there may be some superficial similarities, they are still radically different and can't be treated the same way.
