Don't take her words too literally. That's what led to all the "Summer is alive!" theories.

-When she says "everyone is scared", who is everyone? The people of Vale, whose home went to hell in the drop of a hat? The kingdoms, that have no idea what is going on there? Who is everyone?

-When she says "no one knows who to trust", it was a slight hyperbole; They saw Atlas attacking them at their darkest hour. Atlas, who they previously trusted with their protection. That hurts their trust towards Atlas. For the other kingdoms, they saw that and just that, and now they have no idea whether Atlas should be trusted or not.

It doesn't mean Vale will become fully xenophobic and hate Vacuo and Mistral as well.

-It may be the case, just "what would naturally happen"...but look at it from a narrative perspective. Then you can see how it would be pessimistic, to show Vale in a more and more hopeless situation without anything to clear the clouds, regardless of whether it would be "realistic" or not.

It's not like RWBY needs to stick to realism anyway. It's not that kind of show.
