Putting Out Fires with Gasoline

If "the world" is unable or unwilling, and since no one's talking we don't know which it is, to rescue us from our captors, then it is not in our best interest to give them the assistance that they should expect only if they rescue us, especially if giving them that assistance costs us our lives or the little freedom we still have. That's the "would we." The "could we" is that lying about wanting to save the monsters who are murdering us would make our actions in that direction ineffective. It's all about sincerity! And no one can be sincere about wanting to save the lives of murderers so that they can continue with their crimes!
