I believe the "fog of war" in this case precludes us from taking decisive action. We might be wise to prepare ourselves for various eventualities, be in position to take advantage of opportunities that might arise, but we seem to lack anywhere near a reasonable amount of information to actually launch any sort of offensive based on the simple notion of (a potential) "an enemy is at war, now is our time to strike".
