: i never saw oni as evil. paranoid and prone to "the ends justified the
: means" line of thinking but to think back pre-war and the growth of
: humanity after the jungle wars when we had centuries of united rule and
: these entitled colonist who think that they are too far from the homeland
: for them to be from the homeland. begin create organizations the range of
: protest movement to arm rebellions, terrorist and piracy. many of these

: was the greatest threat in the galaxy to human progress. then the covenant
: was a thing. some innes returned to fold but most were just left to die.
: and now the covenant are gone and this new and rather far more vicious
: N.C.A has become the greatest threat to human progress and now humans have
: access to galaxy cleaning super weapons in the halo rings. so knock the
: unsc/ oni as much as you want but i fear this new threat and the chief
: would see them as a threat also. but that's just my interpretation

I guess that is open to interpretation. The fact that ONI wants to keep the Sangheili in constant civil war with each other and does not want a treaty of peace with the hole race just strikes me as ONI being nuts. They are getting out of control it seems ever since the war ended and their grasp on Forerunner tech (thanks to ONIRF Trevelyan) has greatly increased their dominance in the galaxy. In just a few short years after the Halo even, humanity has gone from near extinct to a rising super-power like the Didact predicted. It is kinda scary how fast things are turning around and based on reading how far Covenant tech has advanced over eons in Broken Circle, it is scary to see how fast humanity has adopted Forerunner tech and progressed in such a short period of time vs the member races of the Covenant poorly advancing what tech they have had access to for millenia.
