1. Bolton\'s legitimacy comes from the Lannisters. That was the POINT of the Red Wedding. If Roose Bolton decides that he\'s going his own way, and that he\'ll hold the North by blocking Moat Cailin, well the South can simply decide to starve the North (The Reach/Tyrells supply the food to the region) and the people will be left to die during Winter. And if Roose Bolton is going to defy the Lannisters, the North will wonder why they have to pay taxes to Roose Bolton. So no, the South will ride to Moat Cailin and if Roose wants to hold on to the North he will have to fight them. The other thing people forget about \

The other thing people forget about \\\"lannisters won\\\'t help Roose hold the North\\\", well they are not supposed to. They made him Warden and the job description is, \\\"don\\\'t make us do your job for you or we might as well not have you at all\\\", so Roose complaining about it makes zero sense. Stannis himself said that the North was a hard region to keep in power and Robert had Ned Stark to do it for him. The Lannisters won\\\'t help Roose HOLD the North (aside from giving him titles and legitimizing his heir) but they will damn sure help anybody else to get the North back to the Seven Kingdoms. The Iron Throne rules all Westeros, and if any one side can secede without comment, that means all the other kingdoms can follow suit. So either way Roose Bolton has shot himself in the foot just for the sake of the Season 5 Highway to Moronsville story. He is in a Lose/Lose Situation. He either loses to Stannis or he will lose to the Crown. His only option for survival after that is to get out of the North and March south and fight the Crown and well...I just can\\\'t buy that at all.

The whole Sansa/Baelish/Bolton is IdiotPlot and goes against all the CharacterDevelopment, is poorly foreshadowed and developed and completely fails at logic. At the very least Roose Bolton is grabbing the IdiotBall very firmly, by risking and compromising his position like this. He\\\'s put his entire fate in Littlefinger\\\'s hands. If he comes out on top of this, he\\\'ll become a VillainSue as far as I\\\'m concerned (Ramsay is already there), but either way its a waste.
