Have you considered that the other person here is of perfectly normal intelligence, and you’re just very bad at explaining your position on an extremely sensitive subject? Seriously, I hope you’re just badly fumbling this because oh boy are you presenting yourself like an asshole right now. I’m skeptical that’s it, since you’re clearly lashing out by insulting their intelligence (which frequently correlates) but I also understand how frustrating it can be to try and explain things and be repeatedly told it’s problematic. Maybe take a breath and try this one again. Or just tell me to fuck off, settling the matter and letting us downvote you with a clear conscience
To stretch a metaphor: Spying on friendly nations is assumed by everyone, and is a huge part of why we’re still friends. If you can be sure your friends are in fact your friends, doesn’t that mean your friendship will be stronger? Especially if your friends have nuclear weapons.
