This looks like the exercises organizations write to guide policy and preparation.

There's all kinds of wild scenarios: the president getting kidnapped, Canada falling to a belligerent dictator, and famously, a coronavirus pandemic... This looks like one of those

Apparently this is exactly what it is https://ai-futures.org/

Something like the Canadian army doing a land invasion from Winnipeg to North Dakota to capture key nuclear sites as they invade the beaches of Cleveland via Lake Eerie and do an air raid over Nantucket from Nova Scotia.

I bet there's some exercise somewhere by some think tank laying this basically out.

This is why conspiracy theorists love these think tank planning exercises and tabletop games much. You can find just about anything
