Above and beyond man.

Do we know if Iran has struck desalinization plants yet, or just that it will be a part of their further escalation?

[–] sovietsnake@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 week ago

Desalination plants along with oil rigs would be one of the primary targets in my opinion. If plants are hit most countries would run out of water in about 2 weeks, hitting oil rigs would prevent them from further producing what is mostly their only source of income, plus they are dependant on selling oil to purchasing food which they don't produce much. Roughly 70% of the GCC's food supply enters through the Strait of Hormuz. This is leverage for the GCC to not go fully into pro-nazionist mode, but it is a double edged sword since Iran mostly has the same weakness but not to such an extent.

Due to capitalist deregulation and corruption, the vast majority of India's freshwater sources are horrifically polluted and are better classified as festering chemical and bio-hazards then usable water. So despite sitting on one of the best water basins on the planet that is fed by the Himalayan watershed, the water is virtually useless downstream.

Do you have a link to the article that contains this graphic?

This shows data from the globe, you need to filter where you want to see.

I should have clarified. What makes you say that Iran's strategy is to strike desalination plants? Is there an article that you read?

[–] sovietsnake@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I watched some videos by Jiang Xueqin where he says this, but beyond that if you see the data it's what makes the most sense. Also the oil sites, I watched a video (I don't remember where this was) but an oil rig caught on fire simply by debris from a drone crash nearby, image if you actually would want to hit them. Easy target that's impossible to defend. This also draws parallels with the Ukrainian SMO, where Russia hits critical infrastructure, the difference is that these places are so artificially created by the Big Oil that disrupting civilian life is way more easier to do than in a country like Ukraine. There's the whole debate about whether is convenient, because of nuclear annihilation but you wouldn't even be attacking Israel directly, just disrupting the petrodollar.
