So the water wars are starting again. We're just lucky in the rest of the world climate change hasn't caught up to us yet to make this a possibility.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"Find out" initiated.
Indians and cosplaying as Israelis name a better combo.
Europeans and loving colonialism in the forms of Christo-facism, Zionism, or Islamism, all over the world.
Hence the existence of Israel and of the current borders between Pakistan and India. Oh, did you forget?
Why no mention of their promotion of Hindu surpremacy? BJP is Israels big friend in the region.
Oh, because Colonialism. Whether it was conducted by Middle Eastern Muslims or European Christians, it remains Colonialism, so bringing it up would be a false equivalency.
The BJP didn't start the relationship with Israel, it's been going on for well before they were politically relevant. The party that oversaw the country for decades was certainly not your Hinduvta bogeyman. You'll have to try harder.
Actually only Europeans after ~1500 did colonialism when got guns and boats. But besides your historical lack of knowledge, why are you leaving out British colonialism of India which was one of the worst colonialisms?
Did you mean the Britain in Europe or the one that isn't in Europe?
Find out for what?
Hiding OBL for a decade while taking money to "Find OBL"?
Sponsoring terrorism for several decades?
Saying this like IWT wasn't already a barely functioning agreement that was actually enforced lol.
If you build a dam properly that's plenty enforced, depending on the materials you use. Reinforced, even.
Pakistan has a great airforce but their COAS would sign a surrender so fast it's not even funny.
It is hilarious seeing the difference in Pakistani public reaction online compared to 2019 when they shot down and captured an IAF pilot. Went from national patriotism to no one caring anymore and making memes about the possible outcomes.
IWT has also been pretty rocky in implementation and has a history of being abused. India can't permanently cut off the water because it would cause flooding on their side, and notably the Indus River also runs through China first which could make it tricky.
I'm all for another PAF v IAF skirmish, but Pakistan really needs its democratically elected civilian government back.
