I already knew that this war was going to happen two months before it started. Ai, NPO, and some of the EQ coalition have been planning to hit MK and DH for probably more than three months before the war. The reason why it was taking a while because Ai and the EQ people did not have the guts to declare on the DH and couldn't do that with no legitimate reason other than grudges, until this little "incident" which barely gave Ai the reason to declare. So, really, the EQ coalition is clearly the aggressor here, no matter how hard the EQ tries to picture itself as the "good" guy while trying to paint Umbrella as the aggressor. I used to be in the purple sphere a long time ago and I knew who Olympus and Valhalla were like back then but I'm not going to insert any negative adjective in here because I'm not like that.
