Remember when in the last few weeks during the transition to Biden that general went behind the President’s back to reassure China of our intentions (regarding nuclear warfare), thereby commiting actual treason, and everybody (even Republicans) was all like “s’okay, you did the right thing, and maybe deserve a medal” (bc the alternative was so very much worse?). Yeah we are so fucked if we think we can survive that kind of brush with starting WWIII a second time.
That was my point. I mean technically it is, but how much worse would it have been if he had not done that? And how bad was it to have put him into that position in the first place, where he had to struggle through the ethics of that. So I mean: don’t gloss over the fact that the other side of that would have been worse than treason!?
That hero put himself onto a live grenade, for the sake of us all.
And now, there’s a not insignificant chance that we’ll throw another one just like it.

It’s not treason to undermine a traitor.
