Did she send her kids to die on purpose? To maybe, what, say she didn’t start the war?
Cuz that’s the only thing that makes a little sense? Cuz sending your young ass inexperienced sons on dragon back by themselves out into the wind when you know there are murderous experienced dragonbacked warriors out there (who hate them btw) trying to consolidate power is so fucking stupid, it makes this show a laughing stock.
This is Marvel / Star Wars level… just putting shit on the screen hoping the audience just straight lets it pass
She took a risk; it didn't pan out. In dangerous situations, sometimes risks don't pan out. It happens. Risk nothing, gain nothing. Sometimes stuff just doesn't work out.
What was she supposed to do, just have her sons and dragons sit around at home all day, accomplishing nothing while the Greens gathered support from the Great Houses and consolidated their alliances? Then she would just slowly lose the conflict. She needed to shore up support from the Great Houses and form her own alliances. It was just bad luck that Aemond happened to be at Storm's End at the same time as Luke, and that Borros (whom she thought was friendly, since he's related to Rhaenys) decided to flip to the other side and not offer Luke shelter.
There was no war yet. The Greens had just sent her a peace delegation, so she didn't expect violence from them at the moment. Luke was sent as an envoy, and should have been left alone by any Green envoys he encountered.
