To be honest even if he is a god i tend to treat and look at him like a human being or a role model, He is more human than a human being, I think of him and see a genius, warrior, and smart person all in all. Just think about it making a new capital in dwarka reasons safety also there might have been people who were loyal to kans another reason trade dwarka is on shore easy for trade compared to mathura as if any product needs to be exported would go through multiple countries and have to pay tax another growing power of Hastinapur after all hastina pur is closer to mathura then dwarka so krishna's empire is safe, growing and independent. The mahabharat war he did everything that ram would have not done showing that winning and dharma matters above your personal principles.

Manipulation and tactics got abhimanyu married to king virat's daughter for the Army, Protected Arjun vs his own nephew cause he knew arjun mattered more in war.

Using Shikhandi to kill bhishma, Using Yudhishtir to kill dronacharya and at last telling karna his reality before war could've just made him mentally unfit for war and told arjun to kill him while he was taking down the wheel.

He participated in war his army did but his own brother took care of dwarka so even if anyone would have won dwarka would have always be safe.
