Espionage is kinda shady in nature.

Do you think they should have outed their spies, dooming them to a certain death?

Yes. In fact, I would happily sacrifice the life of every single American spy abroad for a single innocent life. And you are a bad person if you wouldn't.

And this is ignoring the fact that you are completely making up that a better warning would have "doomed them to certain death".

Awww the poor widdle spies! They were just innocently torturing innocent people at bwack sites, then destroying all evidence of torture! How dare they sacrifice these benevolent angels to save some RuZZian orc!

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 6 months ago

Fundamentally naive take.

They already sacrificed lives when they decided that even just a few of their spies were worth 140 people murdered and many more to spend their lifetime with medical issues and permanent mental scars.
