This could go potentially be a war crime.
This is more like a trade-war crime. If this is a war crime then the us has been committing an endless war crime by sucking sooooo much of the Colorado River before it goes into Mexico.
If this is a war crime then Ukraine committed one when they shut off water to Crimea.
(This is not a war crime)
Yeah, the Colorado river is nuts. It’s crazy to think that the river that carved the Grand Canyon doesn’t even reach the sea anymore because it’s all used up along the way, mostly by the U.S.
Cue the bombings in 3, 2, 1… Regardless of what happens, you have no right to shit off a critical water source for an entire country.
I bet this is just India making a statement to Pakistan. Turn off the water for a few days then turn it back on.
As people pointed out, if they keep it closed very long it will overflow so India doesn’t want that. Also blowing up the dam is one hell of a stupid suggestion. Can you imagine how bad that would be to the people downstream? And you know who is down? Pakistan. That would be so dumb.
This is a political point, and they can’t possibly be cutting off water for any real length of time.
Good. Fuck Pakistan.
