The problem is that this behaviour is so erratic that a regular security approach cannot - using conventional target theory - effectively orient and decide to act. The only option is for the state itself to adopt some form of dynamic or randomised pattern of defence/offence which could effectively minimise the tactical advantage.

It couldn't be any less productive than what the Clinton and Bush administrations accomplished in their lengthy efforts. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

I'm having a hard time coming up with any winning strategies in that scenario. Multiply the difficulty of our challenge by 10 when runaway inflation hits our economy, and it will.
