Not really. It means that the other Kingdoms are more focused on development than military, whereas Atlas is more military-oriented. The implication is there, but the opposite is just the same. Look at ourselves. It's a bit too hard to distinguish how 'military-oriented' each nation is, but we can safely say that nowadays we are splashing our money more on development than military. But would you attack the United States? Would you even dare to invade China? Even the weakest nations can easily have hundred thousands of soldiers ready to march to war (regardless of their condition), and there are only four standing in Remnant.
