Yemen and Ukraine join the fight on opposing sides. The war keeps spreading. How long before some of the big players on the sidelines get involved? Although I am fairly sure that they are already helping the side that would be more beneficial for them, it’s like us arming Afghanistan when Russia invaded, or Russia helping Vietnam when we were invading, oops, helping the southern part of Vietnam.
We have a mad king on the throne here in the United States, so telling what he will do?
Our mad king may not be playing the fiddle; he is probably glued to watching Fox so they can tell him what to do next.
Game of Thrones is fiction; the other may be happening in real time.
Aerys II Targaryen, also called the Mad King and King Scab, was the seventeenth and last member of the Targaryen dynasty to sit the Iron Throne, ruling from 262 AC to 283 AC.[11] His children who lived to adulthood, by his sister-wife, Rhaella, were Rhaegar, Viserys, and Daenerys Targaryen.
Aerys showed great promise at the start of his reign, bringing peace and prosperity to the Seven Kingdoms. His later descent into insanity, however, was caused by, amongst other factors, multiple miscarriages and stillbirths, the deaths of three sons, and a brief uprising known as the Defiance of Duskendale, in which he was held prisoner for half a year by a rebellious lord. The king’s paranoia and cruelty grew out of control, and Aerys was eventually killed by a member of his own Kingsguard, Ser Jaime Lannister, in the Sack of King’s Landing during Robert’s Rebellion.[3]
Just got back from visiting family, drove, no flying for me. So, keeping this post short.
