Endgame

When approaching the endgame in Risk, the best strategy is to attack all the weaker territories around the largest army of your enemy. Consolidate your armies and in the final blow, take out the most armed territory.

The reason? If you do not take out the smaller territories first, you might deplete your largest army facing the most armed territory and not have enough armies positioned in the right way to take out the scraps. If you leave one extra turn to the scraps, they could get Risk cards and breathe new life into the game.

For that reason, right now, I think the Senate and House should concentrate on neutering Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz either through censure motions and possibly even stripping them of their committee responsibilities. This should be bipartisan. They should not make them martyrs, merely impotent.

This will help cool things down. Democrats will find pleasure in punishing those who goosed along the Capitol riot. It will be a warning shot to anyone with power who wants to ally with Trump at this point --- is there anyone left?

Censure Trump with 90%+ vote by both House and Senate. It needs to be bipartisan.

If an armed mob comes to Washington to try and install a dictator or intimidate our elected officials into not inaugurating an elected President on the 17th or 20th, it is an act of war and they can either surrender their weapons or get lit up.
