Possibly, Mengerie would have the means: (Ie, leftover weapons from the last war) to invade a weakened vale, close enough, and would be a poor nation with more war materiel than resources (Sort of like what post USSR Russia would be without gas money) that would have the motive to do set things going. Cinder might even be a Faunus with her ears, tail, or whatever amputated for the role of being an supposedly human "Face".

Honestly, I just extrapolated all of this from "The White Fang are a terrorist group that lost focus on their cause, much like most real-life terror groups do and is now just driven by petty hatred", which is rather obivous given their reaction to the more peaceful faunus rights protest, and that one scene in the opening.

Glad to see others taking it seriously.
