The general idea of removing his friends made sense to me, from a leadership perspective. I thought the bigger problem was not going everywhere with Ghost. He was concerned that other warg would steal him, but IMO he should have just sent that warg somewhere else (to Mole's Town). He'd probably still get stabbed if Ghost was with him, but only once lol.
I like the fact that Jon, Dany, and Cersei provided a great glimpse at what ruling actually is. All three make decisions that range from outright horrible to questionable to good. I was re-reading parts of ADWD last month and came across a part where Tyrion is outside Meereen wondering why Dany didn't poison the wells outside the city. If she had, her enemies wouldn't have any clean water in the area, however it would have made it hard for her to take care of her own people. I find shit like that interesting
