While I sympathize with the idea, an actual traitor could be doing even more harm. An actual traitor, for example, would have just flat-out canceled everything we're sending to Ukraine, and demanded everything we've given back.

As bad as this is (and it's very, very bad), it could be even worse.

Unless not wreaking more immediate harm (or taking certain actions, like the one described) enables the wreaking of more harm over time, or taking further actions that result in a superior future strategic advantage or accomplishment that outweighs the former. (One possibility among others, no doubt.)

Um, that sounds pretty much like what trump actually did.
