Technically Metzen wants Varian to be a "Lothar like character"

It's not the Alliance who's invading Horde lands. It's the opposite. Ashenvalle, Hillsbrad, Gilneas...
Or are you saying that the Alliance should just let the Horde have whatever it wants?
Considering that the Alliance was mostly defending itself and its lands since the start, it's hard to say they were wrong this time.
well, maybe it's because Garrosh didn't just kill them, he erased them from existence. from every other universe, every fabric of time and space, theramore and everyone and everything hit by that bomb has been erased forever. their souls even, are gone.
I think that's why people say the route Garrosh took was unfair. A regular huge nuke that simply killed, that's one thing, erasing people from existence is another.
and yeah, I'm horde myself.
I always giggle when people forget that the Alliance was actually meaning to attack and laying siege to the gate that leads to Thunder Bluff, yes of all people, Tauren. Also Theramore was indeed a fair target, the problem is the way it was executed, which no matter how much people want to argue, Its brilliant. Unfair? Yes for sure, Smart as a strategy or pin point? Ofcourse, but its not the Horde's way, its never been. Thus this is why Garrosh is about to gets his doors knocked down soon.
Also, I Always laugh a little when I see people say that Orcs/(Garrosh) are/is dumb, you've got to be kidding me, dont let your feelings get in the way of actually noticing how cunning and how much strategy Garrosh puts into his Attacks (I.E Theramore). I will say this every time, Garrosh as a Warlord or General, is simply brilliant and has a lot going on, as a Warchief? Working with other representatives? NOT a chance. And has been like this since the VERY start. It has only scaleted.
Citing that without context is unfair. The Alliance was making a path throught the Barrens. They destroyed Taurajo because it was harboring attacking parties. They besieged Mul'gore because it was sending attacking parties.
if Alliance had any intention of attacking Mul'gore, they would not give time for the Taurens to build the gates in the first place. They'd advance towards it instead of continuing the road to Ashenvalle.
And BTW, people either forget or don't know that, but without Jaina or Theramore the taurens would have no Thunderbluff for themselves. It would be under control of the Grimtotem. Anduin even invited the Tauren into the Alliance, but Baine refused. Jaina then gave Baine money so he could buy weapons to retake Thunderbluff.
I think the Alliance are mad they were outsmarted by Garrosh. Lets face it, as far as Military deception goes that was a fairly slick maneuver to wipe out a large portion of high end military. I was as surprised as most that Garrosh used a deft move instead of screaming 'For Honor' and bashing his face into Theramore's walls.
Or they are just making pressure to make sure the tauren stay there.
And in Tides of War, the Tauren were able to easily get out of the gate and murder the few Alliance forces there in order to join the siege of Theramore.
There's not even the faintest hint in the whole storyline that the Alliance ever planned to actually attack Mul'gore.
For the Horde it may be. For the Alliance, it's a war to defend their lands

God, I laugh people that only want World of Lovecraft.... like really this expac was about Horde Vs Alliance... best way to win... kill the other before they kill you even if you have to use dodgy tactics.
