you know all those prophecies that say he will "bind the 9 moons to him"?

With the Seanchan on the full offensive against both Egwene and Rand I find it hard to believe that he'll simply ignore them. He's got to bring them in line before he can afford to turn his back on them...
You know how all those prophecies say that he has to kneel before the Empress?
at this point they might as well be working for the Shadow since they are at open war with Rand.
I wouldn't be shocked if the Hall declares war on the Seanchan even knowing that it will given Egwene a broad array of power there. What choice do they have? Rank and File AS would be outraged if the Hall decided to play a political game in this case.
That is exactly the sort of petty self-centered manuever that the Tower has been pulling all along - "Forget the fight against the Shadow, we've got axes to grind!" Shades of Manetheren, Barashelle, Hawkwing, Malkier and every other failure or misplaced priority of the Tower for at least 2,000 years.

There is still a lot of question out there too as to what corruptions are in play ... is it the Seanchan version, the mainland version or perhaps pieces of both?
Personally I've always been of the mindset that Ishamael edited the Seanchan version of the prophecies to make them fanatical about TDR bowing before their Empress, knowing damn well that the real version will not make that a reality and knowing that they would never follow him if he refuses.
It's not just the Tower that pulls this shit ... nearly every character in the series pulls this shit!
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
I think I know what they're going to talk about...

Pretty much - Egwene always wants to pin the blame on someone else; she won't appreciate correction

Do you really think he'll tell her to back off the Seanchan?

She'd be pissed just like everyone else in the series.

She has no reason to be pissed about being asked to follow Rand - but that won't stop her of course.

So you would be fine if the leader of your country simply decided one day to follow someone else in

Maybe because they leash female channelers and practice chattel slavery?

Yeah, a 50 year threat of nuclear war is so much better than an army that couldn't cross the Channel

Yes, but Tuon is now the aggressor

Calling her the agressor does not increase the threat. The situation is unchanged

I ask again, what evidence is there of their corruption?

We'll all find out soon enough about the truth of the prophecies. I admit that any of these options

They are on the offensive is the point. Even if Rand says not to attack them to Egwene
