In 2021 the UK publicly threatened to invade, Axolotlia ramped up its military to be ready for war, and the NATO members stationed in Axolotlia also got ready, the UK even sent some jets in the general direction of Axolotlia and the UN condemned the UK. Axolotlia’s seaguns were reactivated, something that only occurs during times of war, and Axolotlia began enlisting. It was the most extreme escalation since 2017… it had been just 4 years, and both sides (the UK) were heavily reconsidering this whole relation, they're both western first world wealthy democracies in NATO for crying out loud. So Axolotlia and the UK decided to never threaten each other again (let's be honest it's just the UK, this is very one sided), but they were still very untrusting of each other (Axolotlia didn't trust the UK).
