Doomhouse could easily have waited until after the NpO front was complete, at which time many of NPO's allies would have been battered to hell anyway, and then hit NPO on whatever CB and had the support of many of those alliances currently tied up against NpO & friends or rebuilding from that affair. It would have been an absolute curbstomp. As such, your point has no substance. That said, the above is precisely the reason why so many people were sure that the NPO would enter this war if the correct circumstances arose; it would have been suicidal in the long run for them to have stayed out. Whereas they would have had a small chance of winning if they entered at the right time, or at least of fighting the war to a scorched-earth stalemate, they would have had absolutely no chance if they stayed out and allowed so many on their side of the web to be effectively obliterated.
The best available argument people seem to have against the claims that the NPO would have entered is "The NPO says they weren't planning on entering." Do you truly expect us to simply take at complete face value whatever the NPO says? The memories many have of the NPO are not nearly so short.

I doubt that most of the alliances currently fighting NpO would be comfortable (or capable of) supporting Doomhouse in a totally blatant attack on NPO after concluding a global war.
And yeah, I doubt the NPO would have sat this war out. Still, it does not justify Doomhouse's actions (from neither a moral nor a pragmatic standpoint).
