Maybe, it then comes down to who is the stronger bully - and what society finds it easier to adapt to the idea that there are own losses. There is a certain shyness spreading in the wEst that will put the West at a disadvantage here. Western outrage at the brutal fighting method in Syria or the "underhandedness" in the Eastern Ukraine operation, illustrate this, and imply that Wetsenr people would find it disgustign to act like that themselves. whicvh might be the reason why the West currently falls back at all burning fronts in the world: war, intel, cyberwar.
Tough games like these simply are not be meant to be played gently and concerned for the opponent's wellbeing.
