So will the Iron Islands attack the Reach once the Tyrells send their arm to Kings Landings? Makes sense to me.

Jamie knows war. And cersei does know politics. They just got one pseudorival to attack an enemy. They know what they're doing.
But yeah. That WAS Euron. I just meant they may cut a lot of him out. Isn't there only two shorterned seasons left....or was that just rumor?

Jamie was losing to Robb. But Robb was pretty damn good. It doesn't mean Jamie sucked at strategy just because Robb was besting him.
But this was all about the Lannister vs Dorne thing. The two of them together are smart enough to realize they can't go to war with the only house untouched by war while The Sparrow is still in power.

Jamie does know war, but he failed at that. Robb Stark was trouncing the Lannister army. It wasn't until Catelyn decided to release the King Slayer that the tides turned.
I would consider that a great fortune of luck that his enemy would be a complete fool and commit treason to try and save her daughters, and subsequently kill her Son. Jamie was not smart, he was lucky.
Cersei is a damn fool though. I don't see how anyone can think otherwise. Did you forget that the reason they have a common enemy is because she armed the faith militant because she was so incredibly short sighted and wanted the Tyrell's to suffer. LMAO she is terrible at this game of politics. Its going to be funny when the valonqar wraps his hands around her throat and she realizes its Jamie, not Tyrion that she should have been worried about.
Cersei would have been wiped out long ago if it wasn't for a boar, Tyrion, and Tywin.
As far as Euron, there are only a handful of Chapters in the books with him in it. His arrival is at the Kingsmoot, (balon dies off page in asos) next time we see him is after the invasion of the shield isles (Victarion is the one who leads the invasion). If they kick it into gear they can cover all the stuff from the books in a couple episodes. The important stuff is really the Kingsmoot, invade the reach, celebrate in the great hall of the shield isles and give the 4 islands to Victarion's greatest allies, Send Victarion to slavers bay to fetch the Targaryen princess to be his bride. Throw in some filler to show the show watchers just how awesome Euron is because all the foreshadowing in the books was missed out on. Done deal, the best character in the books, brought to life on the screen.
Cersei's problem is she's short sighted. She never looks at the long game, it's all about instant gratification for her whims. She can manipulate and play the game, yeah, but as has already been pointed out, her handing over power to the High Sparrow solely to screw over the Margaery and Loras represented a move of someone who gave zero thought as to what the long-term ramifications of that would be, and she ended up paying for it.
She has no concept of doing what's "best for business," so to speak. She's too black and white. Stuff either benefits her/her family or it doesn't, and when it doesn't she lets her grudges too often inform her behavior. And she's often far too petty for her own good. She doesn't play politics well at all. She has no nuance in her approach. Tywin could be absolutely brutal and was not a jolly guy, but he knew when to use the soft touch or leave well enough alone. She has no concept of that. She's like the absolute worst of his traits cranked up to 11 without any common political sense to balance it out.
So who is left that can see long and manipulate the situation? Little finger and Tyrian and Varys?
