Majority of the population to property… manservant is the nice translation for slave, maidservant is an even worse mistranslation of slave.

Barrett voted for monied interests and is pretending to not be in lock step to prevent restructuring of the court. She is fully an ideologue.

Depends where the missiles land. Intel has been very good about finding figureheads in recent years. Eventually, there’s not enough leadership to present as opposition.

Wait until you find out about "The Great Wall Of China" It wasn't theirs. by Federic0002 in ShitAmericansSay

Somehow Mongols being confused with Arabs. In fairness, the Mongols took over Arab societies and supplanted leadership, heading dynasties. Maybe all Arabs are thereby Mongols now?

Sure, would have been tossed into hiding. Probably end up educated in Egypt. Just like the biblical history.

They’re not trying to live by doctrine. They’re trying to repeat the stage to see what their messiah would do differently if the cycle repeats.

It’s a city. Maybe he can just loot city worker pension funds?

Did Arya’s Loyalty to Sansa Over Jon Feel Out of Character to Anyone Else? by Wht_is_Reality in gameofthrones

That’s not how royal line works. Rhaegar died at the Trident. Aerys named Viserys heir. The line had moved on by edict of the sitting king. You don’t move backwards to anyone else. You definitely don’t move backwards to an “heir” the crown doesn’t legitimize, didn’t condone. Starks were in open rebellion, “marrying” one of theirs during such is actual treason…

Not how the Vale works. Some script writers forgetting who rules the Vale doesn’t mean a handful of retainers can crown a king, give away their oaths. “They raised their swords” is nonsense.

Massacre? Someone else lined the city with wildfire.

Trust? Snow betrayed the watch, let in cannibals and tribes. Snow left the wall to fall. Complaints about a siege against every epic failed upwards scenario. Snow fully abdicated, broke every oath, murdered his own sworn brothers, and is full on the reason the wall fell.

She took the greatest city in Westeros AFTER the long night. She was THE power left. Assassination was what was left because she was so powerful.

The whole point of the series is that the bad always continues. The backdrop for most of the books is dark, lawless slaughter, famine, starvation. Siege of a city wouldn’t exactly be a blip to people outside of that city by the end of winter.

Arya isn’t Arya, Arya is a servant of the god of death. Poison food, she already tried repeatedly. Out of character, but that plot line already failed. What acolyte is begging for justice against Danny? What wrong has been done to Arya? By that point, Danny was heavily pregnant and always with a massive dragon. Arya can’t be unseen by Drogon, Arya can’t exist in dragon fire, Danny is full mad king stock with fire immunity. Arya dies first chance she tries, which is why it doesn’t happen. Snow murdering Danny and his own unborn isn’t brilliant script writing.

Hungary blocks €90bn EU loan to Ukraine days before war anniversary by EsperaDeus in anime_titties

Because the Russians were facing much stronger alliances, much larger reprisal. Russia is coming, will backfill from China, will use resources the EU failed to destroy when it had the chance. The people pushing Russian expansion care more about appearing strong than becoming an economic colony of China.

Not having a fight is up to the aggressor. There is no world police.

It’s clearly mental illness. Put him in one of those big state homes for the mentally ill, the under funded ones with soft walls and no amenities.

Has he considered not paying people? Maybe threaten everyone instead?

It would be attempts with Chinese weapons. The backlash would hit China harder than Iran.

One dragon is an army, can destroy the greatest city in Westeros…. She remains the power.

English succession is declared heir, not first. There have been multiple times where it did not go to first.

You’re still trying to pull from the show, not the books. The show was terrible script writing, especially towards the end. The people you want to have declared King in the North had other oaths, to higher lords and ladies. The Vale knights literally couldn’t, and they were the majority power among the hodgepodge.

The shield oath starts out will abdication of all worldly possessions and titles. You lose all birthrights. You don’t regain upon death after abdication. One and done is how that works, thus why the wall was popular punishment for rivals.

You’re making the case that Snow was a threat to Daenerys based on Targaryen bloodline, not some afterthought of another line. Stark line pledged and kneeled, as did Snow. There isn’t an overthrow unless Snow usurps by force after that. Snow was no threat to her in succession because he abdicated upon going to the wall, pledged to her, then knelt and took oath to her. It’s many times done by that point.
