Now that the primary means of war is economic all people stand to be impacted, not just those on the battlefield. The conditions of war have long killed more citizens than direct combat. The lack of sanitation (sewage and potable water), inability to access to healthcare (doctors, hospitals and pharmaceuticals), loss of shelter protecting people from the elements and exposure to war made toxins killed more people off the battlefield than on it.
If ESG was such a thing, war would disappear from this earth. It is but a slogan for selfish leaders to wear on their lapels. Former Carlyle Group co-CEO Glenn Youngkin ran from his ESG loving self as he campaigned for and became Virginia's Governor. The man who once monitored rush hour traffic in Beijing must mobilize the state budget to benefit America's oligarchs, his former private equity peers.
The greed and leverage boys fully intend to profit massively in the midst of major global disruptions. They will get theirs. The question is how many regular people will get monkey hammered by the new ESG, eviscerating society for greed. As Russian President Vladimir Putin does not care about the direct or indirect loss of life neither do America's oligarchs. Both want more and more and more.
Update 3-10-22: Russia's greed and leverage boys are also in a "recalculating phase."
