Forget nukes—this time, it’s about water. A massive Chinese dam project, India’s plans to reroute rivers, and Pakistan’s angry warnings are turning South Asia’s water supply into a political time bomb. The region’s old tensions over borders and militaries might soon take a backseat to fights over who controls the taps.
Editor’s Note: Water shortages aren’t just an environmental issue—they’re becoming a security threat. With climate change drying up rivers and populations growing, fights over water could escalate faster than diplomatic talks can keep up. This isn’t just about thirst; it’s about stability in a region that really can’t afford another crisis.
