Originally by: Felysta Sandorn Hahah! NNF getting steamrolled by Red would be a particularly pant-warming experience... The whole "United We Stand" attitude, although is good against foes a quarter of your size, will epic fail against a force like Redswarm...
Even though Razor, Morsus Mihi and so on consider themselves 'superpowers', they are only actually one superpower... Hell, I'd go so far as to list the superpowers as they stand:
BoB Goons Red NNF
And I would've said Triumvirate before they disbanded, and this is the reason a lot of people have so much respect for BoB. They took on two superpowers and didn't fall. I don't think that NNF will be able to hold out against Redswarm... In fact, I know they won't... I just can't wait! 
The problem with the BoB war, is yes, BoB may not have lost, but they certainly didn't win either. Delve as it stands is an formidable fortress with so many stations, but as the game progress's other regions with become the same. That combined with the current output of pvp focus in this game for the newer generation of players being blob rather than actual skill, makes the ragoon bloc only able to grow larger and more powerful, where as BoB who generally recruits the opposite, older players who pride themselves on pvp skill something that will start losing power, as the older population starts leaving the game. Just look at, how many 5 year olds does BoB have compared to other coalitions, these are players who are going to be leaving the game sooner than the 1-3 year olds.

The way I see it, is this. ragoon are interested in owning all of 0.0 and the whole war to stop BoB from doing just that was a PR campaign to convince the community that it was actually BoB who wanted to control all of 0.0. In doing so rallied most major alliances onto ragoons side to stop BoB and in the process allowed them to acquire vast amounts of space as well as gaining the positive standings with the North, and showing the North how powerful they truly are without having to fight them. These standings and the power that the North has seen they have allows ragoon to attack the Norths non important blues i.e the drone regions and geminate all the while the major Northern alliances hope they don't become next.
However the problem that the North faces, is they serve no purpose. Theres 3 important power bloc's, and they are third on power, they will never work with BoB nor would BoB work with them, and ragoon don't need their help to fight BoB. The bob war was fought by ragoon, all the while the North epic failed on every corner of the map. The north only saw success against BoB once ragoon had pushed them back to their original regions. Even now, the north has only recently been able to get back to where they were prior to the war.
BoB after the BBQ is over and the next target is released will attack the north. ragoon will finish off taking Geminate and the drone regions then invade Delve, forcing BoB back south to defend. After a couple months of war in Delve showing BoB they cannot invade without being invaded Ragoon and the north will leave. Ragoon will then invade the weakened north and take it easily. AAA and the lesser southern alliances will be kept on standby in the south to defend against a BoB invasion while Ragoon finish up fully defeating the displaced north. At this time they will own so much space, and have so many bandwagoners that even BoB's fortress Delve will be overrun. Thus ending EVE.

Nice post not sure I entirely agree with your conclusions though. I think it was President Nasa or Egypt who said "The Arab world will fight to the last drop of Egyptian blood". Similar things were said of the British being will to "fight to the last drop of their Allies blood".
I think RA Goons have been largely untested of late relying on others to fights the Great War. We will see.
