Basically you wan't to break your opponent's balance/posture and from that position execute a technique or throw/projection.
That's what I said.

Again i disagree. I don't say it will happen just like in Aikido training or that it desirable for you to stay in a situation of expectation of a technique, that is why there are three levels of combat initiative in Aikido: "go no sen," "sen," and "sensen no sen" but the fact is that anytime you attack, be it punching, kicking, grabbing, pushing, pulling there is danger for you to be countered.
These levels exist in Budo, that is right, but there are some differences how people describe the character three "sens". For O Sensei they had no meaning.

A good example is shomen uchi ikkyo, her nage attacks ukes face, and uses the defence movements to execute Ikkyo.
This is different from waiting to be attacked.

Many counters in Judo explicitly use the opponents energy to throw Him
Of course, this is part of the strategy.
