Then, not only do they intervene, but they do it on a grand scale where they make sure the entire world is more pissed off against Paradis than anyone else.

Why?

The Tyburs likely know that Eren can't fully use the Founding Titan because he's not of royal blood. It's not like King Fritz's sock-puppet threat of flattening the world with all the Wall Titans is remotely going to happen. All it means is that Paradis is no longer bound by the king's oath of non-intervention.

...Which, yeah, kinda sucks, but that's not world-ending sucks, because the Founding Titan is still effectively a non-player.

Paradis right now is wrecking havoc in one city in Marley through what is essentially a blitzkrieg attack. The Survey Corps has the element of surprise, with few in Marley being aware of their approach, and they will not have that the rest of the war. Also, Paradis is likely to be much more limited on people and resources (though with the addition of Onyankopon to the cast, it is possible they might have outside help).

Basically, having the entire world united against Paradis is like nuking your house to destroy the spiders in the kitchen. We know Titan warfare is rapidly becoming outdated because Marley barely won the Mid-East War. Marley and the rest of the world could likely handle this without the Tyburs lifting a finger.

But they break a century long policy to get involved.

Why? I'm waiting to see what countries side with Paradis. I get the feeling the Asian clan in the Walls and the Asian Lady from Hizuru are connected.

Seeing a Black character in the cast is pretty cool and I'm wondering why they sided with Paradis

And I'm wondering why they attacked when all the world leaders were there... They do have the colossal titans on their side but do they know how to work them correctly? I assume Wall Maria is fully functional again because they dont need to start wars when they're trying to recover from the Fall of Wall Maria.

They know Marley is big and the thing is, they attacked an internment zone, not a captial city or a major city. What is their plan?

Once the Survey Corps leave back to Paradis, I hope we see a flashback or something.

With this new war, how will the series progress from here?

SOOOO MANY QUESTIONS
