Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.
And for your comparison, they did fund the American revolution which on its turn was one of the sparks for the French revolution (or was that exactly the point you were making?)
The funding of the American revolution is a fun topic but most people don't know about it so I don't bother dropping references to it. :D
I wonder which side tried to forget that first (;->
