At some point you cross the threshold of "this is too much, drone them". Or send an assassin. Yes, even the United States does this occasionally.

I suspect the attackers know this. Or else they aren't in it for the money. One or the other.

Yeah unless they work from an office in e.g. Moscow. The US is powerful for sure but even they would think twice before droning a building in Moscow over some hacks, especially without concrete proof that's where they originated. At least I hope they would because if not then we may be closer to a world war than we thought...

The catchy rhyme being "warheads on foreheads".
