I imagine the actor who plays Middlefinger does.

Bane?

>>3292889
He's finance personified

Thomas Cromwell, born from nothing and worked his way to the top using intrigue and political relationships.

>>3292897
littlefinger didn't get tortured or try to raise a civic militia that got BTFO by spanish elite troops. also machiavelli came from a good family while little finger came from nothing, at least from what i gathered from the show

Talleyrand?

>>3292944
>>3292951
Littlefinger was from a small landed family. Sure he wasn't powerful like he is today, but certainly not "born from nothing".

Lavrenty Beria

Looks harmless, but pulls all the strings. Pockets money. Generated debt. Lurks in the deep state. Always useful, until he stabs you in the back.

Beria is closer to Ramsay Bolton if anything.

Yes. Petyrs great-grandfather was a pentosi sellsword, so he doesn't have a great noble lineage but he's still not from a merchant family.

none, because any actual person who behaved like such a nimrod would have been summarily stabbed in the throat and dropped into a bog long before history would have bothered recording him

His land was so small it didn't even had a name. He was barely a lord, more like the owner of a farm.

Dude, are you implying that Dinkic ever had an independent thought or action? He was/is a pawn

>>3293281
Braavosi you mean?

>>3293497
He was the cornerstone of every Serbian government and he brought every single one down. He stabbed Labus in the back, he stabbed Kostunica in the back, he stabbed Tadic in the back, Vucic removed him from the public eye before he could stab him in the back as well. And he still operates as the head of investment deals with the (((UAE))), an official for Sberbank and is probably rubbing hands at the current trouble in Agrokor.
Useful when it come to money laundering, and accumulating debt, sneaky, probably has dirt on everyone.

>>3293510
Kostunica stabbed himself in the back and front with his indecisions. But it doesn't matter really, he is not a master schemer, he's planted there and is someone's pawn, like majority of Serbian politicians are.

>>3293518
>implying baelish isn't just a bravosi plant

>>3293530
Well possibly, but he also acts largely independently, with no evidence of communicating with some external power, Braavos or anyone else.

Talleyrand.

>>3293530
>braavos profits from instability and chaos

No stable society, no growth, no loans from the iron bank.

Plus, Petyr manipulated the braavosi as well (increasing the debt so the iron bank calls in their loans everywhere, increasing CHAOSH)

showrunners failed to understand that LF managed to be successful, because he learned how to hide his powerlevels.

show LF is constantly provoking people with short fuses who would kill him just for having a bad day, let alone for mocking them.

in contrast, book LF is an always jolly moneyman, who could always help you out if you're in need of a few shekels. and they never consider him dangerous, because he has shit for lands and armies.

>>3292901
this one makes more sense

>>3297921

Littlefinger's story isn't over yet. He also doesn't want to sit on the Iron Throne, he just wants to control the person who does.

Walpole was also never "Prime Minister", since that title was created after he died. Instead, he was First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer. He decided how much money is to be spent, and what that money should be spent on. Keep in mind that the power of the British Monarch had been neutered after the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution.

Nowadays, the First Lord of the Treasury is always the Prime Minister, which is what makes Walpole de-facto Prime Minister.

Also Show Littlefinger is filthy rich, he has a Valyrian Steel weapon, which automatically puts him up there.

>>3298717
>Littlefinger's story isn't over yet. He also doesn't want to sit on the Iron Throne, he just wants to control the person who does.
What's the point of that?

>>3299132
didnt pay attention to Varys' big fish and little fish speech? Littlefinger and Varys just want to keep on paddling, they know actually being on top means being the biggest target in westeros.

The 20 good men thing is actually not that ridiculous
Napoleon once won a battle in which he was heavily outnumbered by detaching 300 good men to attack the enemy camp

>From 6am to 4pm the French withstood repeated Ottoman charges. They suffered few casualties and easily held their square, but as the day wore on their ammunition ran low and the men suffered from lack of water and hunger. The Ottomans suffered substantial losses, but they could easily replace their casualties and keep up with good supplies and strength to continue repeated strikes throughout the day.

>Just when all seemed to be lost, and Kléber prepared for a last-ditch breakout towards the Jordan, some soldiers claimed to have briefly seen a military force advancing from the north. Kléber tried to verify their report, which could be a relief column under Napoleon, but he saw nothing but the open desert and a monstrous enemy force. However a moment later Kléber saw the relief column; at the first moment Kléber had looked, the relief column under the personal command of Napoleon Bonaparte had marched right into a dip. Although Kléber saw and his men began to feel relief, their opponent still had many times more men than Napoleon and Kléber together.

>Napoleon found himself between the Ottomans and their camp; he decided to distract them by detaching 300 men to pillage and destroy the Ottoman camp. This succeeded far more than Napoleon could have imagined: upon seeing the destruction of their belongings, the Ottomans assumed they were surrounded. In response, the Ottoman army began to retreat to the south and across the River Jordan. Kléber ordered his men to charge in a last effort for the day, and supported by the rest of the soldiers under Napoleon – who were relatively fresh - this charge transformed the Ottoman retreat into a general rout.

This. Anyone who says Richelieu needs to go read his political testament. He wanted only two things: for the King to be first in France, and France to be first in Europe (and maybe make a ton of cash on the side). And he succeeded on all these things.

He only fits for the fact that things like morality were secondary.

>>3300914
Yeah. He had France ally and fund the Dutch and Swedes just to fuck up the Habsburgs, all the while BTFOing protestants at home. He's a fascinating character, and I really encourage anyone to look into him.

Kinda hard since she always to rule, directly, but since that wasn't possible then through her children. The only way to get away from her influence is to make sure she is dead.
