OK I think I get where I was unclear? Tzaddikim agent running the world as a separate entity from Hashem cvs.

The gemara is saying they’re considered His partners by doing their Avodas Hashem, not that they have free reign to make separate decisions cvs.

Tzaddikim don’t even have a separate will other than what Hashem wants so that would be impossible.

However Hashem does ask and involve tzaddikim in His decision making process, like the example I gave above about the war with Napoleon. So the word partner I guess was not the right word and wouldn’t have been used this context so I’m sorry I used it. It applies after the fact to whet they’re considered. Ok how’s that?
