Right, that would be war. My understanding is that the gov has more covert methods... We hunted enemies before in other nations with some success.
How would you feel if they decided to declare some enemies on US soil and start hunting them on your patch?
Unless your assumption is that Russia/China would agree to the hunting of course, but that does seem unlikely.
Anything has risk of course, any hunting need be covert and expertly done.

I would assume they already did that.
I'm sure the various 3 letter agencies (NSA, CIA, etc) are already involved to a degree that's not publicly known.
