You just claimed that if we don't get them they'll get us, and then called someone childish.

> You just claimed that if we don't get them they'll get us

No I didn't. Read what I said again.

I read this - "If you don't make the decision, it gets made for you in the other direction" - and I understand that just as GP wrote.
And how exactly does that mean "if we don't get them, they'll get us"? What it means is that not acting is as much an action as doing so.
Not acting is always as much an action as doing so, if you consider actions abstractly. In this case I don't think it deserves stating.
It did in the context of what I was replying to, which is why I stated it.
