But if Atlas does fall, it'll have a global impact on Remnant. Global.  As others have stated, Atlas is the leader in cutting edge technology, including the CCT. Now if Ironwood stopped being a baka and reopened the borders, Atlas could help in restoring the CCT, which would greatly ease global tensions. But he's so paranoid after the Fall of Beacon that he's afraid to take any chances. You may think that letting Atlas fall would be a victory for justice, though if it does, you might find yourself surprised by the consequences of its fall. Yeah, if Atlas fell it would pretty much leave humanity on the run. Vale is exposed due to Beacon's fall and Mistral is greatly weakened thanks to Lionheart's treachery. Vacuo is the only one yet to be hit, but that is no fortress kingdom. That would be a way to sort of extend the series since it would make the whole situation that much desperate and difficult to overcome. However, I do wonder if they the battle against Salem will be the entirety of the conflict or if they will perhaps use Salem's setback as a way to hit pause on that struggle to have a different kind of conflict emerge. Perhaps that conflict would still be a part of her broader plan, but it would shift away from fights between Salem and Ozpin's respective groups.
