Kulak (who is almost certainly genetically Irish himself), wrote an absolute banger of a piece a few years ago about how fucked the US would be if Russia were to retaliate in kind for the assassination of Daria Dugina. PDF in attachment #2.
The US, like every western "democracy", is run by predominantly female administrators who lack either courage or conviction. They have never faced a consequence in their lives, and their entire worldview will fold up like a dollar store lawn chair the moment they become aware that one exists.
Assassination warfare is SO asymmetrical that one single act can potentially produce dozens of resignations, and literally thousands of man-hours of time spent in meetings - in which the OVERWHELMING majority opinion will be that extending an olive branch and making concessions is the only responsible thing that can be done.
Two things that will catalyze this reaction are:
1. The assassination is carried out in a gruesome, public, and terrifying way
2. The public celebrates - showing that even with an All Hands On Deck search for the perpetrator, it's most likely that another will emerge
