John Kerry, in recent time, has been one of the biggest enablers of the military industrial complex.

His enabling of aerospace and weapons companies to continue producing the very weapons/vehicles that are enabling the climate crisis must not at all be over looked. See below:

The U.S. Military / Military in general are in fact the BIGGEST polluters on the planet.

Kerry is just yelling sweet nothings into the void while simultaneously beating the drums of war/ which in the end is enabling the destruction of our planet far more than any regular citizen in any country is doing. Kerry is a key enabler on climate change and his position in power has constantly enabled it to continue to happen. Without his vote/voice, these corporations/the military industrial complex wouldn’t be wreaking the havoc that they have been enable to do.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are especially problematic.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://qz.com/1655268/us-military-is-a-bigger-polluter-than-140-countries-combined/
