In the game of Risk, that which I used to play even whilst in college and member of Jewish fraternity, for those nights when most of the brotherhood were fasting, we few gentiles played, doing beer and pizza as the kitchen was shutdown. Being better at budget management than my jewish brothers, I was Steward in charge of food and entertainment (and heating and incidentals including tithing for house maintenance and such) controller of the purse.
We and I learned, that winning whilst domination N America is easy to do.
But if N America is not united, iow, missing one state or missing any portion of gateway Canada, then easy to lose.
Should one somehow manage to united the Russian territories w/ China, really difficult to do except by alliance, game over except the beer and pizza.
It is all about beer & pizza, strategically-speaking.
In the meantime, looking at this below earlier prediction, and looks like we are at lose-lose outcome.
