if (has(flammable_liquid) && does_mistreat_people()) { make_people_suffer_more(); }

I don't see any relation between two inputs of that and gate.

Norway shares oil revenue with UK and EU companies and therefore has strong defense against colonialist USA.

If you want to think about causality here it would be more like:

    Group a:
    If(has(flammable_liquid))
        Try to acquire it

    Group b:
    If(behaves morally)
        Prevent group A from causing suffering
The group consisting of both a and b act like what you describe, but not because that's rational behavior.
