I’m just confused why you’re going out of your way to frame it the way you are. Even with kinetic attacks, it’s sometimes normal for some countries not to respond. For instance, when the US killed that Iranian general and Iran responded by launching missiles at US bases in Iraq, the US chose not to retaliate to the missile strike. That was a case where the US escalated the conflict suddenly and even after Iran’s response, there was no point in escalating further. The same might be true with a cyberattack. As I said, there are a lot of different factors involved and these are case by case decisions.
