I’d expect supplies that can be stored, to be transported by sea, most likely from Pentos. So, salted meat, pickled fruits, honey, wine, and spirits. The GC doesn’t have any kind of bureaucracy to handle supplies, so they would depend purely upon foraging. Fresh items (ale, vegetables, bread, fodder for draught animals and cavalry horses), would have to be sourced locally. That will be a burden on the locals, but presumably, she will be arriving with a substantial military treasury. Paying for supplies would sweeten the pill, somewhat. IMHO, logistical constraints make a successful invasion of Westeros impossible, without the backing of local allies.

I don’t think it’s possible to bring more than 25-30,000, soldiers, a huge military achievement in itself.

The bit where he kills the kidnappers in the "shithole bar" reminded me a lot of Unforgiven, his riding away at the end reminded me of Shane.

She lost out - totally -in BSC. I thought it made sense for her to try her luck in a new place. if ever a character got handed the shitty end of the stick, it was Carlot.

And, it is so utterly stupid. If you're worried about the survival of your House, and thinking more than one move ahead, you'd know this is something you would not want to touch with a barge pole. Tywin Lannister is never your friend. Do this, and Tywin owns you lock, stock, and barrel. He is your only protector, but if he needs to conciliate the lords of the Riverlands and the North, well he now has the perfect scapegoat to give to them. It would be similar to Cesare Borgia executing Vitellozzo Vitelli and other captains, who had done his dirty work, and whose usefulness was now at an end.

So, Robb breaks a promise, and offers to make amends. In response, Walder Frey and his spawn murder 3,500 unsuspecting people, commit treason (against both Robb and Edmure), and they do so in violation of the in-universe equivalent of diplomatic immunity. There is an utter lack of proportionality in such revenge. In-universe, it is seen as justification for the deaths of the entire family.

Lothar is - like Walder - wholly despicable. @The Gizzard of Oz- raping one’s own children and grandchildren, and sacrificing one’s sons - is as evil as it gets. In this world, as well as our own.

It’s a good idea for the protestors to disassociate themselves from people who support Hamas. The latter are vicious anti-semites. The same way that Tommy Robinson was told to clear off, when he tried to join a march against anti-semitism in London. Otherwise, you end up tarnishing your cause.

Jaime killing his twin sister would be a grim end for both of them.

At any rate, a compromise that their opponents can accept is the same as a defeat. Success can only be achieved by compelling one’s opponents to do one’s bidding.

I think the MAGA’s prefer angry defeat, to actually achieving some of the things (like border security), which they claim to want.

With reason. It’s hard to see any path to Russian victory, now.

“Freedom” is a sick joke.

That presupposes that Moscow Marjorie is on the side of the USA.

This really is the weirdest incarnation of the Republican Party, in my lifetime. A big chunk of them just wish to see the world burn.
