Iran’s speaker of parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Americans have said “NO TO WAR,” as projections from U.S. midterm elections showed that Democrats have flipped both houses of Congress.

      And no to ICE thugs, concentration camps, ethnic cleansing and rampant corruption. But yeah, gas too.

          Not in politics they don’t. No one is ever altruistic

          America joined WW2 because they feared Germany’s military power if they take over Europe. In the process they stopped the genocide of millions

          That is a good thing, regardless of motive

            I’d say they do matter in any context. But it depends whose point of view we take.

            It matters if something happens with your conscious decision or just as a side effect. It’s a matter of moral agency.

            It’s like that Michael Scott meme where his manager is shaking his hand.

        No, you definitely die directly because of the bullet, which came directly from the gun, which was directly fired by the cop. Things don’t just happen, there’s nothing “technical” about this view, just ignoring causality.

        In the same way, this war is raising gas prices not just because it’s a war but because it’s directly affecting global oil trade. That and all the other consequences are directly caused by trump and bibi deciding it was time to bomb Iran.
