Why would they ally themselves with a technologically inferior coalition rather than Atlantis itself? I mean granted, they actually technically still ARE allies of Atlantis, but why try to frame Atlantis instead of just trying to gain Atlantis' trust to eventually get some juicy technology (which the expedition would probably give them if they trusted them enough). It seems like they are just purposely trying to sabotage the Atlantis expedition for no reason at all. It makes absolutely no sense to go against Atlantis any longer.

But yes, we would more than likely take the city with us.

It actually makes a lot of sense. If the Genii sought to ally themselves with Atlantis, they'd be forced to always play the beggar's part, having little to offer to the Earthlings and no muscle for making demands. If they become the leaders of the Pegasus nations alliance, however, they can talk to Atlantis from a position of strength.If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions.- Abba Eban.

The Genii are some of the most power hungry people encountered so far. They are almost as bad as the Goa'uld. It was not a smart move to go against the Atlantis expedition, because the main reason that the expedition is in Pegasus, is Atlantis. If the people of Pegasus turn against them, it is more profitable to take Atlantis back to the MW galaxy, despite the other technology an resources present in Pegasus.
Atlantis can fly with 1 ZPM to the MW. As said before, the drain was due to the damaged power conduits. And lets not forget, Earth does have 3 ZPMs. If it was really necessary, they could equip Atlantis with all 3.

The Genii know that Atlantis won't trust them. Atlantis will never give them any technology. However, if the Genii are the most advanced faction in the coalition then any time when one of the other factions discover Ancient technology, only the Genii would have the technical skills to figure out how they work.
Also, Sheppard traveled 48,000 years into the future in "The Last Man," you'd think that they would have been able to find something in the Asgard or Ancient databases that would have allowed them to fly the ship. Although, it is possible that the humans eventually built a fleet powerful enough to wipe out the Wraith and then later ascended, leaving all their technology behind, just like the Ancients.

I wonder do the Genii know that Atlantis has major ships at their disposal that could wipe out their very existence? Find their hiding spots, beam a naquada nuke and see them run then not long... BOOOOOOOOOOOOM! I like to see how the Genii will counter that fire power.
In fact, I want the Genii to die cos they are ignorant idiots. They're little boys that want to play with the big boys.

I don't think that Earth wants those nutty kids. They offend everyone, make huge decisions with out consulting the big wigs. They make the most stupid and idiotic mistakes (btw that is done on purpose by the writers, me thinks).
They also blow up star systems.
The genii are power mad and very paranoid. However, nuking them is not the answer. I doubt that the genii leader ship is under the control of the people (It may be a dictatorship of some sort). Taking out their underground bases would condemn countless genii civilians to death by Wraith feeding.
The Genii will do anything to get the upper hand in the Galaxy just like everyone else has stated.
