I can only see those problems and costs increasing in the near term.

However, YMMV - and so it goes...

100% agree! We have forgotten that this is UW with terrorism being a subset of it. Sabotage, subversion, and "attack of the gnat" have always caused the defender to commit resources far in excess of the attackers' expenditures in either blood or treasure.

The problem is HUGE with the effects far-reaching. The tables need to be turned on the enemy.
