There is a serious collection action problem going on with Karma (which has really happened since its inception), and thus it is not only in the interest of NPO/TPF/Echelon, but also of the warring Karma alliances to make individual peace with the remnants. If you get fewer alliances in the room agreeing on terms, the more likely they'll come to a conclusion, so this is what may end up happening. We could also see a major shift in opinion as the lower tier of the nations attacking NPO begin getting destroyed more frequently due to higher tech/powered players with a low NS with nukes and such.
And as someone said earlier, the hippies will separate with the war group, making the war group look bad and force them to wind it down.
