As the title states, I've been reading Glasslands, and I believe that further weakening the Sangheili might just ruined our chances against the new threat.

We haven't fully recovered yet ourselves. By further splintering the Sangheili, we might not be able to defeat whatever this threat is. We would effectively be on our own. 

This can be further compounded if the fleet the Chief sees over Requiem is indeed a military fleet. IF the Sangheili have fallen so low that Cortana herself initially thought that they were a rogue group with poor military equipment, well, things aren't looking good. We might have just shot ourselves in the foot. Things could only get worse if Thel caught wind of our...underhanded dealings with the Abiding Truth. 

Keep in mind that I'm not defending the Sangheili, but am merely pointing out that we are not in the best shape ourselves. It would have been nice to have some strong allies beside us when we fight this new, powerful foe.[[User talk:Missing Mandible|Missing Mandible]] 15:24, 30 May 2012 (EDT)

:That's an interesting point. The thing is though that at the time that the UNSC was weakening the Elites they did not know about this new threat. thus they were simply destroying the only opponant that they saw[[User talk:Weeping Angel|Weeping Angel]] 18:29, 1 June 2012 (EDT)

Humanity didn't know there could be a new threat. If they had, they wouldn't have bothered to weaken the Elites, but instead let them take the brunt of the punishment. They probably will, anyway.

At what point do you reckon the UNSC will know about this "new threat". I'm guessing they won't know until the end of HALO 4 at the earliest, since, while the Infinity may know about the new threat, I doubt that it will have time to report back to The UNSC before the end of the game.
