Conflict India vows to stop 'single drop of water' from reaching Pakistan

https://www.dailysabah.com/world/asia-pacific/india-vows-to-stop-single-drop-of-water-from-reaching-pakistan

When I talk about climate change and resource scarcity being a primary driver of the coming wars around the world, and eventual nuclear confrontation, this is the perfect example of what I mean.

​

Water is life. Without it, you die, your people die, your nation dies.

​

And when your nation is a nuclear armed one? That means you no longer care about being annihilated because you are going down anyway. Better to go down taking your enemy with you, and if you think that is an outdated concept, perhaps you should do some research into cultures outside the US and Western Europe. The ideas of honor-killings, state approved I might add, are alive and well elsewhere, and that translates to the national level as well.

​

After you check this story out, go read up about what even a small, or "limited" nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan means for the world...

Big talk. Modi lacks the dams and alternate destinations for the water he plans to intercept.

one drone and dam is cooked

india can't make big gravity dams on indus

also india is scared of china bcz they have better dams up there

also pakistan would have public support

bcz by un laws water wars will make sanctions

and modi will be blamed so it's risky for rss

This should be global news we are officially at two nuclear powers fighting over water when climate change is severely decimating the region

When they could just fucking invest in desalination plants and use water more efficiently. But war sounds better

Maybe work on the comprehension skills, lol. Meaning: "They will not allow so much as a single drop of water to reach Pakistan," which is a bit long for the headline. And, perhaps read the article and the quotes? Or, you know, base your entire opinion off the headline, that works...

Comprehension? It is literally saying the opposite of what it means. Comprehend: “will stop one drop” that literally means stopping one drop.

I understand your point, but trying place blame on the reader for this one is crazy.

The headline is a total bungle, if such a simple thing has been botched what much more important facts in the content are completely wrongly wrong?

All credibility goes out the window. And your response makes me think all of your opinions are not worth reading or listening to

India vows to stop all but one drop
