Brzezinski's quote about killing versus controlling people refers to the lethality of modern weapons, not a moral endorsement of killing.
What Brzezinski is saying here is kind of just true. Like, weapons development have been such over the past hundred years that it's technically easier to kill a million people than it is to control them. That's descriptively accurate. I can see no indication from that clip that gets passed around that he's saying that it's good to control or kill people. It's where the disagreement with Alex comes in. It doesn't seem like this has any moral indications.
