If any hostile act is devoted from outside, though the likelihood is not high, it will certainly be fulfilled with a strong counterstrike.
Second, if the opponent, as in previous years, seeks to prompt internal sedition, the nation will respond decisively to the provocateurs, just as it has in the past.
