how do Cersei and Jaime pull off the backstab? Hand of the King Kevan is legitimately cozy with the Tyrells, and Tommen himself is quite fond of them. also Tywin noted that the Lannister gold mines have run dry, so how could they endure a long bloody war with a family nearly as rich and not in danger of going bankrupt?
not saying they aren't going to try it, but the Tyrells are probably the most reasonable allies you can have (supposedly they're even feeding King's Landing with their crops), and you just can't hold onto power if you're trying to wipe out what's basically your capital city's lifeline.
