Ok but "how can you send people to their deaths?" "It's actually easy." because Eva Stratt knows all of the figures and facts of how many people are going to die if she doesn't. It's easy because she knows not everyone will be saved, and that the world is about to go to shit no matter what she does, but she has the power to claw back as many human lives as she can and if that means adding a measly little 3 to the inevitable death count, she has no problem with that. It's easy because she knows there's no best case scenario anymore, and all they can do is reduce the death count by as much as possible, and if that means making decisions that sound batshit insane and make people cry and convince people she's evil, then she will do it because she frankly does not care how people feel about what she's doing, all she cares is that the number of potential lives lost goes down. That she will save as many people as she can in the long run. She has one goal and as long as she's achieving that goal, as long as she is saving even a handful of lives, she will do quite literally anything she is able in order to achieve it.
