That probably no longer holds under Hegseth and his boss's loyalty brass.

After the industrial revolution was earlier funded by human slave trafficking (which was the actual beginning of capitalism) and the earlier corporate imperial colonialism (huge corporate takeovers of both slave and resource trade -- see Dutch East India Company, and then later, England's Royal African Company) the 20th Century climate dynamics of fossil fuel burning is now hitting most equatorial countries. They've suffered for centuries on more than one front.
