BUT consider this: For most of Destiny ORB has been fighting against the ArchAngel & crew under the direction of Yuna Roma. Do you think they'd just let Morgenrate supply weapons to their enemy? Countries develop weapons because they have billions of tax dollars and human resources to use to research and develop massive weapons. They also keep a tight lid so that their best secrets and recent developments aren't stolen by random do-gooders & other factions.

Consider this: Almost everyone in ZAFT believed that Dullindal's Meer Campbell was the real Lacus FOR ALMOST ALL OF DESTINY! There is no explanation how/if/when the Clyne faction people found out which Lacus was the real one, it is totally left out. Also, if ZAFT has any kind of modernized banking system Lacus' purchasing of military hardware would draw a zillion red flags. Also, who in ZAFT would sell them weapons to develop IJ and the new Justice? Who in the Clyne faction would even be in the position to disobey Dullindal, steal and sell ZAFT's military secrets to Lacus? This is also never explained. Who are her spies who can access Dullindal's dubious Destiny Plan? How come nobody else could find anything about it? This is also not explained.

A big Factory floating in space that ZAFT has no idea about? A splinter group of Morgenrate working under who to supply the AA? Top of the line military hardware being smuggled outside of two nations THAT ARE AT FREAKIN WAR PEOPLE and handed over to a popstar and her cohorts who have been slipping around in the background and never come forward with a formal statement until episode 44? TOP OF THE FUCKING LINE MILITARY HARDWARE PEOPLE! Anyone have any clue how fucking impossible it'd be for some popstar and a dethroned ORB ambassador to pay for all that?
Lets me ask you this, how can the coordinaters that dropped Junis 7 have gotten the materials and Ginns and Zakus to create the job? How did Logos (Phantom Pain) get what seems to be an almost complete report of where and the types of 3 secret Gundams and steal them. It was mentioned that the crew of AA was in Scandinavia, maybe they got help from them? Maybe because of the last war and their heroics in them a lot of people trust them and believe in them. Maybe thats why Morgenroete helped AA, all Cagalli has to do is show up. She is still their representive. About Lacus's bank account, maybe she moved the cash around to Orb or another neutral country. There could be a lot of spies, double agents going on. The problem is this. . . . .they only have 50 episodes to tell this story.

Btw Morgenroete is a private company based in Orb which is one of the TOP of the line military contractor who has sercretly collaborated with the EAF before. Who's to say that they cant support the AA?
