Perfect segue to that famous Clausewitz quote!

The premise behind your position is clearly that "politics" is some kind of meaningless distraction to the "real" business of shipping software. But... isn't that backwards? It's a war. People picked a side.

The idea that unilateral military invasion is merely "politics"[1] is... very strange to lots of people.

[1] In the sense of triviality you clearly intended, c.f. Clausewitz again.
