But your frustration seems based on a lot of assumptions about how season 6 and thereon is going to go.
Unless you know something the rest of us don't, we have no way of knowing how these deaths impact the "end goal".
If we get 2-3 episodes into season 6 and it indeed plays out as another shuffle of who's in power and nothing more, then I'll completely agree with you. But with only 2-3 seasons left, I highly doubt that is the case.
