Even I can't really do much without sufficient information.

Well, I suppose I can say something about the SDC. As you know the SDC seemed to have a lot of combat droids and guardians, and that they're a major financial power among the Human community.

The main reason the Human army lost in the past was that they could not keep their number superiority after the devastating loss. However, if they could use the combat droids and guardians to do the majority of their battles - not to mention how much easier it is to replenish their numbers - then they will have a definite advantage over the Faunus.

However, the Faunus are no fools either. They would've learned their lesson and this time be prepared against another Human aggression in the near future. Whatever honor or moral codes they have in the past was put away in order to avoid another tragedy as the first war against the Humans. I personally believe that they've dabbled in forbidden and taboo arts so that in the future, if the Faunus War restarted once more, they would no longer be the oppressed, but the oppressor.

At any rate it's impossible to say that the SDC doesn't have a hand in this. This is likely going to be a main source of tension for Team RWBY no matter what.

As for Crimson and Roman, well... There really is nothing to say. Crimson didn't even have a single line yet in the series, and Roman's motives are completely shrouded in mystery. You could read any random theories regarding the two right now and any of them - however stupid or logical it may sound - can come true. That's why I usually made a point to avoid making theories without having some solid information to base them on.
