we absolutely do compensate. Our power grid is horribly insecure and people have been ranting about it for a decade and a half. Critical infra like that is on ANCIENT systems that go down if you look at them the wrong way.

However i don’t think that’s what leads to inaction because other country’s same critical infra is EVEN WORSE. I think that’s really why we just in general don’t see those kinds of attacks

Yeah, it seems like it could be construed as an attack on civilians - take down the power grid somewhere hot like AZ, and all the elderly would die of heatstroke. Maybe just an implicit agreement similar to MAD - we'd all be so completely screwed that no-one even wants to go first.
