“Let’s attack!”
“Yeah! And let’s tell everyone in the world exactly what we’re doing! It’ll take hours for our attack to land anyway. There’s no way we can lose.”
Who’s running this dumpster fire anyway? 100% bullshit.

Pretty sure these are detectable and missels aren't #bitcoin. They take time to arrive.
What do they target?
I think you say this if you feel you must strike back, but you don’t actually want to cause damage. Causing damage could create a chain of reprisals. But doing nothing would set expectations that you will let attacks go unanswered which you also can’t do. That’s my guess.
Both sides can now feel victorious and things can calm down. Depending on who you believe an air base in Israel was either completely destroyed or only lightly damaged. Which will suite the purposes of both countries just fine.
