    its just a coincidence that the Klingon Chancellor has been killed by a starfleet officer and replaced with a pro-federation klingon general, there definately hasnt been a pro-federation coup on qonos, cease your investigations citizen

    To be fair to Picard though, they weren’t in the middle of a desperate war of survival against a genocidal enemy when Worf killed Duras. Whereas Gowron was risking the safety of everyone in the Alpha Quadrant by deliberately fucking around and wasting ships just to politically weaken Martok. Someone had to stop him, and only Worf could do it legally.

      and only Worf could do it legally.

      Small correction/addition, only Worf was willing to do the deed, mostly because of Worf’s views of klingon honor with his own ideals owing to the fact that he grew up with a very romanticized view of klingon honor that just didn’t match reality.
