Canada will respond in kind. This is the dumbest fucking path this idiot could have gone down, and people will die.
What are we supposed to do, not put golf courses all over the desert?
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.
Did ask for eggs yet?
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…
He’s counting on people dying.
All the billionaires are.
the class war is the real genocide.
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…
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.
