It may have been a decent thought, but now that you've seen red's move, plans must change.
It's always good to allow one round to pass so that you know the intentions of all the loose cannons and non-factor players at the table. In this case, red has committed to Oceania, and it isn't worth your effort/armies to fight for it. I'd suggest stock-piling armies near green and hoping he or she starts to make mistakes (a quick look at that player's history will show this is a considerable likelihood). Position yourself best to eliminate green and keep away from the advances of red.
Of course, each turn will bring new analysis, especially amongst lower-ranked players who tend to be more volatile and unpredictable.
