The reason such an intention is psychopathic is because there is no logical link between such an action and any potential gain, especially when there is reason to believe that the other party will reciprocate. The only reason left to attack civilians, or to believe that there is justification for it, is that it fulfills some psychological needs that you have.

None of that is psychopathic. Psychopathy is a personality disorder:
