If your friend plans on killing a hooker because he likes the idea of snuff porn, and you pitch in to kill her coworker and her boss so there are no witnesses and so your friend doesn't get hurt and because okay maybe you also enjoy snuff porn when you're in the right mood, then it's a joint venture and you share culpability. Trying to divy up fault (45% or 55%?) is kind of besides the point. Trying to decide who's ultimately responsible (0% or 100%?) is both besides the point and violates every ethical principle we have.

Trump sent half of the US's fleet to the Persian Gulf to mount a war on Iran, in part to distract us from the Epstein Files, in part because he thinks he's a czar who we'll title "The Great" for his territorial expansion since the Nobel committee vetoed "The Merciful". Rubio said that we knew Israel was going to attack Iran, and we would have stepped in to defend Israel from the counterattack, so we decided to just attack Iran ourselves. Hegseth ("Deus Vult" Hegseth) and the general staff apparently are disseminating the view internally that "Trump was anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth", and they are His blessed instruments.
