I'm not going to dignify the unironic 'Ra-la was right' with a response, but I think we all have to recognize that someone did pull an unironic 'Ra-la was right'.

If she allowed Emet and the other Unsundered to get through her Sundering, she did so with the knowledge of what they were going to do. What they planned to do. While she was in opposition to them, she was also their accomplice in allowing the Rejoinings to happen. I wonder if she had helped the Ascians figure out how to rejoin the worlds, just so she can create the circumstances that led to the WoL meeting her in Endwalker.
Remember that she directly stated that she did try to stop things--and in fact we confirmably saw her stop at least one Calamity (plausibly two, with the Zodiac Braves against Ultima) with great difficulty and contrived circumstances, so we can reason that doing so is really hard. She knew this plan was needed, but did her best to make it as painless as possible; it's just that she had very little ability to do so compared to the Ascians' ability to make it worse.
