FWIW, my gut feeling is that Raven, rhetoric aside, just enjoys being the biggest fish in a small pond filled with very small fish indeed. Salem's crew are basically storks that are coming to strip that pond bare and she's desperately trying to protect her own little petty kingdom from outside disruption.

If the Haven arc ends with our heroes having a clear and unequivocal victory, expect Raven to suddenly have a change of heart. She'll dress it up as 'sticking with the stronger side' but she'll just be looking to have Ozpin's faction guarantee her continued tenure as Bandit Queen of Anima in exchange for feeding the 'tribe' into the meat grinder of the Salem-Ozpin vendetta.
