Should we really be arming Rasputin? (Possible Trap)
Let’s discuss whether we should be bringing Rasputin to full power, especially since we were teased with Osiris questioning Rasputin. We don’t know when that cutscene takes place, whether it was during Season of the Dawn or after Season of the Worthy when it’s too late.
Osiris is clearly spooked and here we are bringing Rasputin back to full power with these bunker upgrades. I feel like it’s another situation where we’re being tricked just like we were in the Dreaming City.
And before anyone states we need his help to stop the Almighty, how do we know he didn’t plan it this way and manipulate the Cabal into sending it to Earth so we’d [i]HAVE[/i] to power him up to repel it. He’s a super powerful Golden Age A.I. that has the potential to run rampant like in the Halo universe
I just feel like we’re being set up for a betrayal and that we should let Rasputin be. Our hubris will be our downfall

Rasputin doesn't view Guardians as human which is partially why the Vanguard is wary of him. It is extremely unlikely that he'd turn on the Last City or anything, but he doesn't seem afraid at dealing with us if the opportunity arises. As for the Cabal, it was clearly stated that the Red Legion is chucking the Almighty at us as a last ditch effort to stop us; Rasputin had nothing to do with it and even if he did, how would he communicate with them? I heavily doubt there is any betrayal with Rasputin here, though the concern of arming him is certainly justified. The way I see it, a fully powered Rasputin gives humanity a boosted chance of survival in the long run, but I do not see him trusting Guardians unless we can definitively prove that we are helping humanity as well. We see him as a weapon, and he sees us as a threat.
