I.e, that when they mean Alliance victory in a few weeks they're referring to Zandalar and Kul Tiras. It'd fit with the mention of Alliance victory being in he context of discussions on their next moves, be it Genn and Anduin discussing pressing their advantage or Sylvanas positing a way to turn things around with Derek and Ashvane, which have no real applicability outside the new continent conflict. We know for a fact that the Horde is definitely not losing in weeks in Kalimdor considering they hold all the North save a now contested Warfront and this is a cause of complaint for the night elves and EK is in limbo. So from this I'm reading this line as meaning that in a few weeks if things continue as they are the Alliance will win in the new continents and secure naval dominance, basically ensuring the isolation and slow defeat of the Horde elsewhere.
In terms of assets, the Cenarion Circle is joining in as of the new patch, so at least their neutrality is being set aside a bit with Thisalee Crow joining the Alliance and so on. The Vindicaar being absent is still conspicuous but that ship has sailed at least. We'll file it under the same subsection as Nightborne telemancy or the loa not helping Zandalar during the siege directly and only using champions.
Finally, as regards the feeling of victory, we're in a weird position where no side is satisfied, since the Alliance feel like their win is downplayed and even a clear victory like Zandalar where they have two people wounded whereas Horde lose more than half the Zandalari fleet and the King dies is not just framed as having some kind of high cost but also is denied from being capitalized on because Jaina and Anduin are afraid it'll hurt the trolls feelings. In turn, as this thread demonstrates, while the Horde's condition is more ambiguous than it at first appears, we're also basically set on the path to Mists 2.0 and the Burning of Teldrassil didn't really feel like a win, even though the War of Thorns was provably effective, so both sides feel shafted.
