It was, though more so in P.O.Z then in Kindara. Just before the current war it was more a thing that could possibly happen then anything that was seriously being planned. Popular opinion was not as against GA then as it is now that Arella seems to have stopped listening to anything resembling reality. Either that or Galiard is just that convincing, and I have to admit, he is charismatic.
Arella's fatal flaw is justness of a cause and Galiard is super-convincing and gave her a pony.
Ponies do indeed explain everything.
Actually, I honestly think GA playing Switzerland may have been the most helpful thing to Zonasa/Kindara, due to how it shaped the front. If they had actually joined on our side, they probably would have been overrun my Arcaea reasonably quickly.
