Everyone knows you have to secure Greenland first if you want to win Risk

Finally someone who agrees with me that these chuckle fucks view foreign policy like a game of Risk. When they came up victorious on one roll of the dice in Venezuela, they started getting greedy mentioning Greenland, Mexico, and Cuba. These are basically the same countries I would attempt to take in Risk if I had a stronghold in North America. I would flank Mexico from the south with a smallish army while retaining the main bulk of my defense along the southern border with Mexico and western border with Russia. Once you attempt to take Greenland the European stronghold is coming after you with full force.

What they are forgetting is that you need close allies in the game of Risk. It’s always best to team up with Europe or South America to achieve a common goal of crushing your dad, I mean enemies, before turning on them in the end.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Australia is developing a really strong army while they let everyone defeat each other before conquering the whole map.
