If you scan the following two articles, recall thus next verse and
last days contest:

Revelation 13:4

4  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and
they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is
able to make war with him?

5  And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two
months.
6  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his
name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues,
and nations.
8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names
are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world.
9  If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that
killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the
patience and the faith of the saints.
 

" ... who is able to make war with him?"
 

" ... with the deployment of a facially successful first strike
capability, they can move beyond deterrence and into 'compellence.' "
