You are overestimating Rau's influence in the whole thing. Again, the Earth Alliance was on a total war path and set on destroying the PLANTs. Blue Cosmos had the support and command to do whatever they wanted from the very start of the war. Even the Allster family is in their camp.
And they are still around during Freedom, which implies that Eurasia is bankrolling their terror campaign.

And no, Rau leaking Spitbreak wasn't a ploy to "get rid of the moderates to consolidate Blue Cosmos". That's one of those dumb telephone game myths that run around online.

Mwu's throwaway line about Eurasian troops left behind as sacrificial lambs hints less at moderation on their end (there were no commanders left in JOSH-A, period) and more at the dispute between Eurasia and the Atlantic Federation, pointed at during the Artemis episode and elaborated on Destiny.

With the single exception of Halberton (Murrue's mentor and barely a fleet commander, not top brass), there are really no moderates in the Earth Alliance. Every single depiction of them, especially the more minor ones, uniformly portrays them as bloodthristy lunatics that want to annihilate all Coordinators.

>this is also when we learn Bloody Valentine was all him
This is an exaggerated interpretation of what he says. Pining all the responsibility on him or Sutherland is dumb. We are talking about a campaign of genocide. Anyone that has even the most remote responsibility has their hands tainted on the murder of millions. And yet, everyone in the EA's forces goes for it.

Anyhow, if you look at the CE as a whole, you'd see endless brutality from all ends. Earth is the most egregious one, but Coordinators have had Zala's faction, Durandal's schemes and Foundation. More than "Rau being right", I see it more as "Kira and his people being wrong"; it is impossible for them to keep the peace. The world just does not want to listen. They just shoot at each other.
