Seems to me more like drawing a distinction between the British way (a phone call) and the American way (mobilise lotsa troops in the hope that the threat of an attack scares them off).
Ariane/Len - the logical conclusion of "preparing to attack" is to attack. It is not the same as "preparing to defend".
