Let's say that NATO wanted to do a preëmptive attack to seize some US territory in anticipation of an invasion of Greenland. (Holding a territorial bargaining chip is a great way to get your territory back at the end of the conflict. Also, the US public is not used to having the homeland occupied, and would not be willing to live with a loss of territory for very long.)
