If Atlas was going to stage a hostile invasion of the other kingdoms, they would have done it already. They have the most advanced technology on the planet; and for the better part of a century have been the only kingdom with a standing military.

We've been actively TOLD nobody else has a military; no navy, no air force, no army, no marines. Make the arguments that you will as for why they should; canon fact is that they don't.

What they DO have is civilian transports equipped for combat against Grimm. The Argus Express is equipped with automated turrets and armored shutters, for example.

The ship Blake and Sun used to reach Menagerie has a heavy artillery (as well as several smaller gun emplacements) installed despite being a civilian cruise liners.
