I think there's a good deal more Military Strategy going on with Cinder, and less of the "false flag" tactic to wake up the kingdoms. Instead, I think it's more of a whittle down your enemy situation. What I see her ramping up to do, is to start a war between the kingdoms and the Grimm, knowing that more than likely the Kingdoms will win that battle; but to do so will cost them greatly in terms of men (Hunters/Huntress'/Soldiers) and weapons. This will then put them at a disadvantage for an attack by the White Fang, making it unlikely that the Fang could lose. Doesn't mean they'd win easily, but they would be facing a depleted enemy, and battles would be much easier.

Something else that makes me think this, was a comment made off handedly about Roman. Something to the effect of "Why do we need this human" or along those lines. Making me suspect that Cinder herself is a Faunus of some type. It's entirely possible that she is one of the "leaders" of the White Fang itself, though with no mention of Adam beyond Blake's hint that he may have been the leader himself, this is questionable. If she removed Adam, it's more plausible then.
