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".
Presumably there's 100s of spies you would kill all of them to spare one life?
Thats 100s of families torn apart 1000s of people for one person.
So trolly problems a no brainer for you?
It's the life of someone going about their existence, trying to enjoy a performance vs the lives of people who willingly signed up for a dangerous job to serve the world's bloodiest empire.
Thinking you can do morality with numbers is sociopath behavior.
