Take the Twins and you're going to be able to take Riverrun in fairly short order as I'm fairly certain that the vale has best army still standing at this point. The Eyrie would be a very convenient seat to control that territory, especially since he's still technically the Lord of Harrenhal. All of that territory is immediately adjacent to each other.

Littlefingers 'reward' for helping re-take Winterfell could be the North endorsing Littlefingers rule of the Riverlands.

If he consolidates power there and lets Daenerys take apart the Westerlands/Crownlands, everything would fall into place pretty nicely for him. Especially since Oleanna seems to have no quarrel with him so she wouldn't seem likely to insist on his ouster as part of her payment for aligning with Dany.

This makes perfect sense to me. Baelish as the new lord of the Riverlands, which ahs effectively lost House Tully (though what happens to that complete moron Edmure now?) and House Frey. Harrenhall is in teh Riverlands.

But JOn Snow isn't going to let what is left of the STark/Wildling forces go south. He's focused North on the White Walkers.
