No. If you have majority of customers in country A, but the attack comes from country B, it is better to cut off B to keep the web services working.

BGP doesn't allow to stop attacks this way as I understand.

what if the attack comes from country A too? my understanding is they try to get botnets and residential proxies in large Western countries to avoid being filtered by IP range already.
