Yes, they'd be happy that he had taken all the food, burnt any excess food that was outside and kicked them out to starve.

Intelligence does not come into it. They are hardly going to be happy with the circumstances the Blackfish has helped put them in.

Understanding is not the same as being happy about it or even supporting the decision. People don't think like that.

I believe the smallfolk are smart enough to know that it was the Lannisters who put them in this situation. They will also blame the Freys who committed the worst massacre in Riverlands history.

Nobody will blame the Blackfish, he's pretty much the last person they would blame , he's a legend in the Riverlands.

The majority of people accepted that it was over as proven by the Riverlords imminent messages of surrender to Kings Landing, many didn't even wait for the Royal army to come to them.

How have things turned out better for Edmure and the Blackfish? Actually tell me how burning the Riverlands smallfolks crops and playing seige for a few months has benefited either Tully?

Bryneden could have left with money and supplies before the Freys and Lannisters turned up. There was no advantage to the whole ordeal.

Just because somebody else surrenders does not mean Blackfish has to as well . Everybody has to look out for their well being but the Blackfish is looking out for the Riverlands as a whole. That's the responsibility of being a Tully and he takes it very seriously. We have no idea what his plans are but we do know that he had a chance to have conversations with Edmure so they could coordinate any plans and he would have not have been able to do that if he just left. Also Edmure is in Lannister hands instead of Freys so he is clearly safer and the Westerlings are alive which would be doubtful if the Freys took the castle earlier. We won't know all the advantages he gained until the next book.
