Have you been watching the same show? The power blocs haven't managed to crush CB interventions even when they knew where and when they were going to be.
Moralia and the PMC come to mind. The best that mass force has done is pinning down gundams by using 200 to 1 odds. And that failed because there were 3 more units than they knew about [and another thirty in antartica]. The various factions seemed to consider that an all out action. From the evidence the forces involved there wouldn't be sufficient to pin down 10 GN-X's.
If i'm right about that a GN-X squadron is a strategic weapon. For the simple reason it can defeat in short order the entire conventional [that is non GN equiped] MS forces available to one of the alliances. Leaving their alliance's MS's with no opposition.
Not all strategic weapons are WMDs.
And it's not like the HRL doesn't have a reason to want to make pointed military statements to the AEU. After all what is a Terrorist attack on your orbital elevator between friends.
