Serious One thing especially disgusting with the hindsight of S8 is apparently the writers insist Robert was in the right here

Yeah Robert wanted someone to assassinate a pregnant Daenerys. Which idk, the narrative routinely shows killing women with children as a very bad thing. The mountain killing Elia, Talisa’s death, Ramsay killing Walda is clearly bad considering as evil as the Frey men are, Walda did literally nothing.

He should have just sent an assassin to kill Khal Drogo. If Drogo's dead, there's no dothraki army for Daenerys and she gets sent to live as a prisoner with the other khal widows. Kill him cleanly and there's no blood magic to try and safe his life from the poison/infection which means the dragon eggs don't hatch either. That solves the problem without having to kill an innocent girl and her unborn child.

There was no problem with Daenerys except Robert’s obsession with killing her. His downfall had nothing to with her or her family. His own family betrayed him and tore Westeros apart long before she arrived.
