If you are a rational player, then you were already doing that before the enemy action. So the correct response is to keep doing what you were already doing.
(Of course you also update on the enemy action, and maybe this could change your strategy. However, I don't think there is much to update on now. The fact that ISIS has a few suicidal volunteers is not new.)
We should update on ISIS having an increased desire to attack Western cities.
...and do what?
Put more resources into fighting ISIS.
Oh, you mean the, ahem, leaders of the free world should update. I s'pose. I'm not used to thinking of "we" as "me and Obama".
This makes me want a super-upvote, that subtracts four karma to award five. Yes, this, exactly.
I have just given you 25% of what you want by upvoting Viliam's comment and downvoting yours.
[EDITED to add:] I would not otherwise have voted either comment up or down.
I appreciate it! (No, seriously.)
Yup, very much agreed with OrphanWilde on this one.
Yes, this, exactly this!
