Canada will respond in kind. This is the dumbest fucking path this idiot could have gone down, and people will die.
Yo, straight up, the Colorado river never sees the ocean. It is probably the most completely managed water source in the world. Any other country would take cutting off their water supply as an act of war, or at least a legendary diplomatic breach, because you’re effectively sentencing people and crops to death. If there’s anything that could actually start anew world war or civil war, water rights is among them. Probably the only thing stopping Mexico from declaring a hot war is, that the capacity of the American government to wage war is absolutely outrageous. Over the last 100 years, the government has basically remade itself to serve that end first, last, and middle to the detriment of all other concerns.
With the exception of the Gulf War, America hasn’t been able to win one since WWII. America’s so confident in the tech it’s developed that its strategists can’t figure out an end game to any conflict they’ve dragged the military into. Dumping money into the defense industry isn’t the same as having an effective fighting force if its soldiers are demoralized with systemic neglect and shit pay. Sure we can carpet bomb the shit out of cities and place defensive points around oil wells, but that only makes the natives switch to guerilla tactics that can be very difficult to detect or counter.
Maybe then Mexico implements water desalination. There’s a ton of water and solar irradiation. There must be something they can do to get thru this.
He’s counting on people dying.
All the billionaires are.
the class war is the real genocide.
I mean…nooooo…but yes, but still also hard no
What are we supposed to do, not put golf courses all over the desert?
Did ask for eggs yet?
I’m not asking Canadians to respond to this on behalf of México. I’m asking for them to consider if it’s worth it to help the US by sending them water or electricity.
This is not longer a price increase in your grocery store, this is denial of a must have resource for people to survive and as we can see now the US doesn’t have a problem with citizens of their biggest trade partners suffering.
Not a lot of Canadians looking to lend the US any hands, don’t worry…
worth it to help the US by sending them water or electricity.
Water is an essential thing. Electricity is not.
BLINK THE LIGHTS, DOUG !
If they overthrow their fascist government then sure let’s help them.
Begun the water wars have
Nah it’s been going on for decades. Just check out the genocide in palestine.
I really need to see this movie don’t i.
Budget Marlon Brando?
Breaking Bad Brando
Pretty rich considering they’re about to start begging Canada for water. Or another reason to annex them
it seems likely the US will annex Canada eventually.
Are you some sort of stupid-comment bot or what?
I think they’re just someone with a realistic view of the ongoing environmental catastrophe and how capital/empire has responded and will continue to respond.
Why are you so rude?
I’ll take that as a “yes”, since it’s irrelevant whining about my tone
Because you don’t deserve it, is why
Whatever is bringing you down in life and making you so rude to strangers online, I wish you well to overcome that.
It’s you being an idiot online thats making me rude to you, but pretending it’s real-life stuff probably makes you feel better
Stop posting brain-rotted garbage takes and you’ll get better replies, quite simple
It’s easier to use me as the scapegoat for your issues but you’ll only find peace once you start looking inwards.
Might be worth mentioning the water exchanges are part of a treaty between the US and Mexico, and Mexico hasn’t been holding up its end of the deal. If you just read the title you’d think the US is in the wrong…
