The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.

No, but the statement we are discussing assumes this from the start: "I would happily sacrifice the life of every single American spy abroad for a single innocent life."
Yeah but we're discussing the case where it would kill all spies. My statement was in response to (I repeat): "I would happily sacrifice the life of every single American spy abroad for a single innocent life."
Yeah but this is not "dying for your country" (it wouldnt benefit the USA in any way) but rather "dying for a single civilian of an adversary country". They didnt sign up for that.
I don't care about impossible thought experiments
Then don't comment on one and don't waste my time telling me that my answer to a morality question is "ridicolous" because it didn't happen.
Lmao waste your time? You're on a shitposting forum, you're doing that yourself.
I didn't pose any hypotheticals, I pointed out that your weepy moralizing over the idea of endangering spies is ludicrous.
No, you tried shifting the discussion and when I told you what was being discussed, you simply said you're uninterested.
No I'm not. I never claimed anyone was in danger.
Yeah it is and nobody did. I certainly didnt.
