( Spoilers Main) what would Ned have thought of Robb’s war?

Assuming Ned survived and escaped Kings Landing, what would he have thought of his son Robb’s campaign agaisnt the Lannisters?

He heard of it from Varys, and I think he was just too bewildered and flummoxed to have much of a reaction.

I honestly wonder what he would have thought of the north declaring rebellion. One might think he would think they were honor bound to revolt.

I think differently. Ned had seen war and knows how terrible it is. He also knows that the North has fewer people and resources than the Lannisters and they stood little chance of winning.

I think he would have urged Robb and Cat to make peace and he would not have encouraged it.

Your thoughts?
