Has there ever been a ruler that had a long happy reign while not using outstanding levels of violence...

The problem was that she burned it after the city surrendered. It would have been perfectly fine if she had to reach a decision on whether she should burn the city and claim the throne or lose because her armies are depleted. That would have mirrored Aegon the Conqueror burning Harrenhal since he would not have been able to take the city with his troops.

In 10 years people will deny it even happened, like Armenian genocide or something similar.

Really, she only had to nuke the Red Keep by night, which she did anyway (by day). It’s not exactly difficult to see.

Cersei didn't surrender. It was a trick of Jamies.

Cersei never surrendered, Jamie never got to her with the secret code

Old King Jaehaerys. He made a lot of tacit threats but that's all.

This isn't modern warfare, in modern warfare destroying a city after it surrendered is pretty much considered pure evil.

In medieval and ancient warfare it wasn't and was used as a deterrent to other cities resisting your rule and conquest.

Meant to quote

tywin knew how to do it right. he was ruthless as fuck but when he was in power it was generally peaceful

exactly. scorched earth makes everyone for generations think twice about raising a hand

I’m So glad that that Baker who told aria to fuck off in season one got his comeuppance the white male business owning cunt I’m glad he fucking dies
Everyone in Kings Landing is guilty and you know why because there’s no people of colour

There is no Niggas or Mexicans in Kings Landing or Westeros because there is no fucking cocaine or weed there you fucking mooching criminal Leech

>In medieval and ancient warfare it wasn't and was used as a deterrent to other cities resisting your rule and conquest.
yeah but people don't exactly treat Genghis Khan as a great ruler

the lannisters raped and murdered innocents in the sack of kings landing in roberts rebellion

Cersei didn't surrender either

Every civilization did this. The romans called it Murum aries attigit, which means "The ram has reached the walls", as that is when surrender wouldn't be accepted anymore.

And GRRM is certainly aware of such things, pic related the sacking of Tumbleton - where no quarter was given.

yep, but the targaryens wanted to nuke the city and everyone in it(stopped by a lannister btw)

>Burning King's Landing was basically like nuking Japan, in the long run it turned out better and with less casualties

Aren't they all committing Seppuku?

tbf king's landing deserved it. As Olenna said, the Westerosi are treacherous goyim that don't know what's good for them. If Dany survives she should rule with an iron but fair hand.

>Every civilization did this
yeah and they were all savages

>he believes the US bombed Japan to end the war
They nuked Japan to see what would happen. No one had ever nuked a city. It was an experiment, which is why they nuked them twice. One was a control group

“All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest woman alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.”

This is what amerikikes actually believe.

Literally Bomber Harris.
DO IT AGAIN, btw.

>such townswomen as survived the fires were raped repeatedly even girls as young as 8 and 10.

Cubby posting Fa/tv/irgins exist in Westeros?
Amazing!

Where did you get the image from?

*cunny

Well, I don't think anyone is contesting that warfare was more brutal then. But this was the standard almost the modern age.

Nope, Dany is based. Might makes right.

Fire and Blood.

A sack has a certain amount of fairly unavoidable causalities, as it has an atmosphere akin to a riot, still leaders over the eons have been criticized for not holding back at all in a sack of an august or important city. This is a leader attacking what should her own city directly, in full view slaughtering thousands of families by fire(a rather painful way to die). Its counter productive as it paints he directly as a monster and gives everyone else reason to resist, so its not just an atrocity its aslo fucking stupid.

Imagine being such a morally bankrupt piece of shit that you would actually believe this

This is the true psychotic nature of the evil liberal. When given the chance they’ll burn your children alive and claim it was the right thing to do

it still is in the poorest parts of the world

Genghis Khan was a great ruler and has been considered one for centuries. You can put your new age feelings up your ass.

dropping bombs on civilians isnt right no matter what their government does

Shout out to all the sjw who named their kid after the mad queen

Bobby B's reign was pretty swell I don't understand what the fuck everyone was complaining about

it was pretty based. littlefinger is the one who fucked up the crowns finances.

bobby b had tournaments and he drank and whored like crazy but that obviously isnt enough to bankrupt an entire continent

True enough.

Also, since I only mentioned the Roman policy, the general idea is that if a city was breached or an assault was forced then no quarter would be given, if you surrendered straight out then the city would be spared, and if you forced a siege, then consequences would vary.

Also, the mongols were brutal, as you'd expect:
>On the first night while laying siege to a city, the leader of the Mongol forces would lead from a white tent: if the city surrendered, all would be spared. On the second day, he would use a red tent: if the city surrendered, the men would all be killed, but the rest would be spared. On the third day, he would use a black tent: no quarter would be given.

King Arthur

>their government
yes it is because if the people wanted to change it they could rise up but they don't and work and contribute to the war machine so they are fair game.

Then why the fuck did they put this statue of him up? Why the fuck does people regard him as a legend and a hero?

He made Mongolia relevant for a 100 years, of course the mongols like him.

>people can't be brainwashed into believing what the government does it right

Some can but most go along and reap the benefits so burn em all.

Most are just not aware of the actions of the government actually entail.

Take 9/11, I doubt people were even aware there were countries with enough animosity towards the US because of the wars it was waging in the middle east.
