Ok... b/c you said you agree with the first theory here, and that maybe Cerberus started the war. And the first theory seems to be about a war that started before the First Contact War, meaning before Cerberus existed.

Anywho, the idea of Cerberus starting a war on Earth (which is what the theory above is about... a war among the nations of Earth) makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Cerberus is about strengthening humanity. They wouldn't start a war on Earth among the various nation-states that could only weaken humanity as a whole. It just doesn't add up. It totally flies in the face of Cerberus' entire reason for existing.
