Will the taliban have a war over water? #shorts

[markgallagher]

Ah, so we are appraoching the Mad Max timeline it seems

[Rankao]

We're also seeing a Risk of water war between Ethiopia and Egypt

[Rambletripe]

Desalination is cheaper than war (a lot cheaper) but when you are landlocked try having a chat with your neighbours first.

What's the Persian translation of 'WITNESS ME'?

In My humble opinion the first "water war" of XXI century already started. It happened in Syria.

"Between 2006 and 2011, Syria suffered a severe drought. It hit the northeast region—the country's breadbasket—the hardest. Herders in the northeast lost nearly 85 percent of their livestock, affecting 1.3 million people. Nearly 75 percent of families that depend on agriculture suffered total crop failure."

It was the Levant's most severe drought in at least 500 years, and resulted in bloody civil war.

Great content, keep up the good work.

Wow Pakistan, who could have envisioned supporting the Taliban would lead to a problem?

[DesertJoshB]

I seem to remember a country going there recently, and building Wells and sewer systems, and roads, and a whole bunch of infrastructure to support stuff like that. Too bad many of the neighboring countries, and inhabitants kept blowing that shit up.

[ChemoshKamos]

Perhaps not in modern times, but I feel like there's ample history for premodern water wars. No shot places like Mexico, Sub Saharan Africa, Australia, and countless other landmasses with vast deserts haven't killed untold thousands over water access.

Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, China/India.
The list goes on.
Might even be us interstate warfare over it too

New mad max filming location just dropped

[ItsAVolcano]

Honestly surprised they beat Egypt and Ethiopia to the title, I was convinced the Renaissance Dam would've triggered a conflict by now.

[gholland]

...crimea. That was about water access, specifically warm water ports.

[GanyuSimpingDegenerate]

Not if Egypt and Ethiopia claim the title first

[maxa.]

A -Stan war? Afghanistan against Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan?

[gagewesterhouse]

I can't wait for the 9th season of GoT: War of the Seven Stans!!

[torrentiv]

I cant let "downward hill spiral" go😂

[merouanebelaroussi]

Funny that in Islam, it is forbidden to "own" water XD

[ianmoone]

all I'm hearing here is the resource wars are happening.

[coryd]

Sounds like solar babies or tank girl is happening

[jordansmith]

There are a number of Arab countries which are damming rivers and reducing water access for their neighbors. China is damming multiple rivers and causing water shortages in South and Southeast Asia.
