Three of the nation’s top retail leaders – Walmart’s Doug McMillon, Target’s Brian Cornell and Home Depot’s Ted Decker – met with President Trump at the White House to present their case against the administration’s proposed tariff policies, advising tariffs will raise consumer prices and could potentially disrupt retail supply chains and lead to product shortages, according to Bloomberg.

You know cutting off water supplies is how wars start right? Ethiopia and Egypt almost went to war over water. When Ukraine cut off Water to Crimea, Russia had a good excuse to start attacking them.

Its how funny how people are so worried China will invade Taiwan and yet everywhere else is actually starting a war. Especially with India and Pakistan who have nukes.

Maybe by the time China and Taiwan need to be reunified, the rest of the world is a smoking nuclear wasteland.

Anyone with even a basic knowledge geography should know it impossible to "cutoff" water supply of Himalayan rivers that go to Pakistan from India. First of all, making a dam in the mountains will be super expensive. Even if India wants to do it anyway, it will take decades to complete such projects and also crippling to India's govt budget.

But even more important is the fact that rivers are catchment points of all the water coming from surrounding areas. It's likely that most water in river in Pakistan comes from Pakistan itself. Only a small percentage probably comes from India. So even if that water supply is stopped, pakistan should be able to manage.

Pakistan, despite having such a low military budget compared india still has a surprisingly strong air force and it keeps getting stronger due to chinese fighter jets and air defense systems. Pakistan almost has parity and even superiority when it comes to advanced planes.
Uh, the jeet fleet of Su-30MKIs is still more than a match for the PAF, at least on paper. Assuming they don't all crash or get downed by friendly fire, that is.
