The inevitability of burning King's Landing

The eighth season of Game of Thrones is formed in the rapid advancement of the screenwriter, and there will definitely be many illogical and lack of foreshadowing dramas, but as far as the burning of King's Landing is concerned, it is almost inevitable. The brutality of ancient wars was indispensable. The Germanic barbarians invaded Rome, the Mongol army slaughtered the entire Central Plains, the Qing army entered the customs, and the three massacres of Yangzhou in Jiading resulted in tens of millions of casualties in ten days. There was a setback. Even the end of World War II in modern times was accompanied by the explosion of two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing more than 200,000 people. Even at the beginning of the modern high-tech Iraq war, precision-guided missiles rained down in Baghdad in order to eliminate leaders and command systems as soon as possible and reduce casualties, but in the end tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians were inevitably killed and injured, not to mention those in the Tour of Power. In medieval society, it is not appropriate to measure the moral standards of modern society. Daenerys is not an angel, but a person with lust, and she is a queen who is determined to regain her bloodline glory and rule Westeros again. She could attack King's Landing first, and after defeating Se, save herself from future troubles, but for Jon's love and responsibility and responsibility, Long Ma went north to fight the White Walkers with the Northern Alliance. She lost more than half of her own army, and Jon didn't protect her. (Still screaming at the ice dragon at the last moment), the bear knight will protect Daenerys to the end of her life. In order to protect Jon, Eddard Stark hid his secret to the bottom of his heart, and did not hesitate to bear the name of infidelity, but Jon faced the request of the dragon mother and told his sisters the secret of his life experience directly. Daenerys suffered a lover. betray. She also worked hard to avoid war. The willful and vicious Cersei did not give Long Ma a chance and directly killed the captive Missandei. Long Ma lost her confidant, and her destruction was imminent. The people of King's Landing are stern people in the game of power, bullying the weak, and falling down wherever the wind blows. James killed the Mad King and saved the people from the wildfire. As a result, the people gave him the nickname of the King Killer, for the people. When Eddard Stark was beheaded for the world, the crowd scolded him wantonly, the villain Joffrey was the king but was cheered by the people, and the little devil bravely resisted the siege of Baratheon's army and successfully defended King's Landing, but then suffered injustice. During the trial, all the stupid people who were in the audience scolded him one-sidedly. The High Sparrow persecuted Cersei to parade naked on the street, and was humiliated by the people along the way. After that, Cersei killed innocent people by massacring the church. The old rose said that the people are like children who don't understand anything, which means that they are all stupid and can't be too good to them, only suitable for rule. In the society set by Game of Thrones, the quality of ordinary people is inferior, and the so-called win the support of the people does not exist. It is meaningless that Tyrion and Varys, as military advisers, have not put forward a decisive and decisive decision in this season. Advice, been fighting with mud, never thinking about how difficult the sacrifice Daenerys made. It never occurred to me that avoiding civilian casualties was not the first priority, ending the war was. Under the monarchy, there is no benevolent governance without an iron fist. Jon, who is still thinking about doing things before and after, is hesitant to be the king, just because he is a man with the right to inherit. These two have no big pattern and no great wisdom. Maybe in the end, we can only rely on this fire to burn all these grievances away...
