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.
