#1 “We hope that we can start a dialogue, but we are ready for war,”

You're not nearly as ready as you need to be.

#4 IIRC, during the Iran-Iraq war, the Iranians used teenagers as minesweepers. The kids would walk across a minefield. When the discovered a mine, the got blown to bits, thereby getting rid of the mine. But the Iranian soldiers found this too disturbing. Not that kids were dying., but that they were leaving body parts all over the minefield. The solution was to have the kids wrap themselves in a blanket. That way, when they stepped on a mine, all the body parts stayed together. And, they were already in a burial shroud, so win-win!
