yup their political alliance is interesting at the same i like the loyalty that karna has towards duryodhan he got to know that he was the eldest bro of pandavas but than he never change sides and was loyal to his friend duryodhan
though he was supporting a friend who is doing wrong but i respect and admire his loyalty towards his friend something that our kalyug has forgotten
That's debatable.
Before offering Karna the kingdom, Krishna had promised Draupadi that Karna's wives would weep at his corpse. So, we can conclude that the offer wasn't genuine. It must be noted that Krishna was a humorist. 😆
Also, according to Bhishma, Karna wasn't eligible for the throne because vedic adoption laws were strict and favoured the one who brought up the child.
Karna didn't just support Duryodhana. He was the driving force behind the latter's ill deeds. Krishna labelled him a vile wretch of sinful heart and never had a positive attitude towards him.
I view Karna-Duryodhana friendship as a political alliance for the sake of common enemies. Without Karna, Duryodhana wouldn't have gone for war because Bhishma was in favour of peace.
