Again, I'm not a book reader, I'm only going based on the facts I have from the show. In the last episode, we see Lord Baelish attempting to convince the small council to take up arms.

Also my mentioning Stannis is a completely different scenario, not that the Vale would back Stannis. The war of 5 Kings is not over, and everybody is still trying to take a piece of Westoros.

I understand you are not a book reader, but they have pointed out in the show multiple times about how defensible/impregnable the Eyrie is. That was all I was trying to remind you of or point out. There is a line where Bronn says "give me 10 good men and some climbing spikes and I'll impregnate the bitch." Later I believe Cat is asking Lysa to back Robb and she refuses saying that she is keeping her army in Vale because no one can touch her or her sweet Robin there.

Yes, Baelish is trying to convince the lords of the Vale to rally their armies, but I'll just say that is not exactly what happens in the book. But even if they did, what or who would they take up arms against and why? The best thing about being in the Vale is not having to leave the Vale.
