The scene can be interpreted as a game of chess, in a way; that he planned things out to make Winter, an Atlesian Specialist, look bad in front of the people and Ironwood, as a small, subliminal criticism towards the Atlesian army's "friendly invasion" of Vale at the moment.

and he was sick of being ignored. ..................What?

@KNN: (regarding specifically the points for "post Fall of Beacon") I think Ironwood is doing #1: Analyzing the AKs that were infected (and were not wrecked afterwards). And then fire all the idiots who thought using AVG as an anti-virus was a good idea.

As for #2, Ironwood knew she had pawns. IIRC, he did know they had a "Queen" they worked for. But, none in the Ozluminati knew who those actual pawns were. And since Lionheart is a traitorous traitor, even if, say, they suspected Cinder and co supposedly coming from Haven, he could've just told Ozpin "Oh, don't worry, she is a Haven student", making them less suspicious.

As for "Queen", that's not an alias, that's just a...nickname, basically, that Qrow used to refer to Salem in the message he sent Ozpin. He was supposedly in their base at that time, so he likely did it as a quick-and-safe option, should someone that wasn't Ozpin manage to read it somehow.

For #3....honestly, if there were any soldiers watching over Torchwick....why not just arrest him, right there? Also, anything like that happening in Atlas? Impossible. That's like walking around a military base carrying a bomb. They're watching you from everywhere, you can't do shit.


 * 4: If he sent anyone to Vacuo, it would be interesting to know who..........that said, the latter part of that point is impossible on a simple fact: Everyone still blames Atlas for what happened. No matter how honest such a "sign of good will" is, no one would take it.


 * 5: ............Why the hell would Ironwood do that? Why the hell should Ironwood do that? What does he even gain from that? Such an idea is basically asking for a revolution the moment things do go down.
