For me, your thinking chimed some ivory. No player but idly interested in the venepuncture of life. Solarwinds Sunburst and let the adventure begin but I discovered already what I suspected and it chimes ivory with chiming ivory.

Naming convention is inane until ships like this set sail - https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/53340.power-bi-exploring-sunburst-visual.aspx

My assessment. Counter intelligence. Chaos is sown.

What's interesting is the counter chaos which could not and cannot ever see lights of midnight.

Microsoft Sunburst visuals. The goose is a goat. Microsoft freeware on the Git.

If this were to be seen as a justification for war, how should the opposition respond to Stuxnet, Crypto AG, PRISM etc?

Indeed, it seems people arguing for escalation seldom take the precedent they would set into account. I tend not to argue the 'tit-for-tat' position, because I do believe there are times when escalation might be appropriate. I suspect if a hostile government could pull off an attack on US nuclear capabilities equivalent to Stuxnet, military retaliation might be appropriate. It may be the case that some of Iran's well-documented support for anti-American attacks in the ME are partially retaliation for Stuxnet. That said, creating a war now in retaliation for damage already done only increases the costs to no benefit. For retaliation and escalation to work, they must be a part of a declared, coherent strategy, which we do not have.
