I believe that so unavoidable that it's almost certainly the desired result of all of this.

The Monetarists never believed the Scions were responsible for Nanamo's death; they simply framed them to use them as scapegoats. Same for Raubahn.
Except it's not working in the least, so it's clear they didn't go nearly far enough, and now they are clearly in for a pound here.

the Monetarists, or really just Lolorito at this point, are simply out for power. The point wasn't to destroy the Alliance but to consolidate power within Ul'dah and pave the way for Omega's excavation.
But for whose end? That would seem to play right in to Garlean hands.
