That wasn't just the USA, and it turned into a boondoggle which embarrassed the perpetrators and gave the appearance that targeted cyberattacks were high-cost/low-impact.

I suppose that it is a diplomat's job to appear stupid until they have stolen your shoes, but I'm not sure anybody can act that well. My confidence in the West's ability to perpetuate an offensive cyber war is pretty low. Our main advantage is the quantity of servers/data that reside in/flow through our borders, but that's not too hard to dodge. Cryptocurrencies also erase the hammer of losing access to US financing.
