You know what, I actually found that part to be believable. Look at western leadership today when it comes to Ukraine and Yemen in particular. Nobody is taking a sober step back to say "maybe we should try something else". I think something similar applies to a lot of our foreign policy. Our leaders do not wish to engage in the material world. So to me this was actually a good parallel with where we're at. In the show the military leadership does appear to know the truth but they are deferential to political leadership that is ignoring it.
This is different, because there is no existential threat to the west and they know it. In the show, the survival of the human race in its entirety is at stake. In the real world, there aren't any self-replicating robot zombies of destruction expanding from those on the frontline dying.
The moment any NATO intel shows there is a real counter-threat it will be taken seriously. Hell, even if there isn't, it's used as an excuse to respond more harshly to something that doesn't even exist.
