No. The point of this discussion is not to speculate, every point i've made is factual. If you bring in speculation you negate the entire point in the argument, even if it is 'based' on fact.

Spectres are entrusted by the council to enforce their will throughout Citadel space, deal with threats in what ever manner they see fit. Thus they are considered above the law. Not once has it been suggested that the council should make policy dependent on their say so. No matter how much they trust them, a Spectre's job is not to effect Citadel Policy.

As for the council not questioning why the Geth only having one Sovereign - sure, if they can build one... then why not two, three, 100?
 * Perhaps they've only just perfected their prototype-Sovereign?
 * Perhaps they hadn't acquired the resources for others yet?

But that as i've said is speculation, thus invalid. The fact, as the council saw it, is the Geth has one Sovereign dreadnought that was capable of destroying a Citadel dreadnought just by flying into it.

Why didn't the Citadel fleet have more than one Destiny Ascension? You didn't answer me that; can you do so with out speculating? No, just as I can not say about Sovereign without speculating.

As for military expansion, ME2 made it publicly clear that the Citadel fleet was expanding. The Alliance and the turians had more dreadnoughts, if the DA was destroyed then the asari ceded their share of defence to the turians who no longer feel bound by the Treaty of Farixen.
