Is Mance’s post-Wall plan (or lack thereof) for the Wildlings a lack of foresight on parr with Balon’s Northern invasion? The idea that the Wildlings could forcibly settle Northern lands without any agreement from Northern lords and no integration into the political system (“when we want laws we’ll make our own”) seems absurd to me. Isn’t it more likely they’d be in hostile territory surrounded on all sides by better equipped and trained forces who would coordinate to eradicate them?
