It was a clusterfuck on all sides, it really was. Even Bilbo. Giving the Arkenstone away fatally damaged Thorin's ability to negotiate at all and put his entire people at risk, and Thorin kind of did have every right to see that as a terrible and potentially fatal betrayal. Bard and Thorin were equally right in their claims and equally wrong in how they dealt with each other, I'm mostly calling Bard the aggressor because he was the one with the actual power and the capacity to make threats. And Thranduil kind of had no real right to be there at all and was silently contributing to Thorin's sense of being threatened, although he was helping Bard who did need it, and he did at least have the sense not to stick his oar into the actual negotiations beyond the sheer fact of his presence. And then Dain arrives, and now we have the threat and soon enough the actuality of violence on both sides.

They just ... It says a lot about a situation when a massive attack by an army of orcs and goblins is honestly the best thing that could have happened for it.
