    No, but it goes both ways. They have missiles aimed at us. We have missiles aimed at them. They probably aren’t gonna be better off if they use theirs. As long as we structure stuff such that escalation from them is disadvantageous to them, and as long as they’re acting rationally, they’re incentivized to not act, whether in smaller things like bombing airliners or larger things like the missiles.
