in the 80's they were the good guys and we armed them to fight the Soviets

We all know how well that worked out

Cersei is literally playing with fire. The blowback is gonna be fierce. It's not like the high sparrow doesn't know that she dabbles in incest. Everyone knows. And Tommen's days are numbered in low digits (c) the quickest way to death on GOT is to hesitate, to be a nice guy. Ask Ned Stark. And pour one out for Grey Worm and Ser Barristan. My theory is Danerys goes mad with anger (it was foretold last episode) and burns Mereen to the ground.
