Time for retaliation, or how to respond to Russian sabotage and sabotage

A state that stops the contractor after each act of sabotage, repairs the harm and strengthens the protection of the next facility, can accomplish police success, and at the same time lose in the strategical dimension. The opponent inactive retains the initiative: he chooses the time, place and method of action, and after losing 1 intermediary, he can find another. That is why the Western debate on Russia's hybrid warfare increasingly recurs a question that has been avoided for years: does an effective fight against sabotage require not only resilience and defense, but besides retaliation? Not revenge or the mechanical rule of "an eye for an eye", but a strategy in which the decision to carry out an operation increases the cost borne by its actual organizer.
