Don’t forget that this is iterated, though. In order to save the site from going down a year from now, we might want to follow through on a tit-for-tat strategy this year.
I’m not certain that this is the correct play, but it is an important distinction from the usual MAD theorizing.
Surely we don’t as anyone bringing down a site next year would still be some sort of reckless nihilist who just doesn’t care. So tit-for-tat this year wouldn’t actually change anything?

Thanks - I meant to point out that it wasn’t definitively single-shot, unlike actual, you know, destruction.
