Water wars

china
China has less agricultural land available per person(https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/chinas-northeastern-black-soil-grain-field-alarmingly-depleted), then Saudi Arabia and started hording food months ago 70% world grain reserves (Did Putin warn China a year ago that he would invade Ukraine?) (https://archive.ph/4QIsg). Egypt and most of the world has only three months of food reserves, China has eighteen months.

The landmass of China has over 90,000 dams that weren't properly maintained due to Deng Xiaoping's push for rapid development, the Three Gorges dam for example is basically a huge heap of concrete plastered on top of the bedrock, it wasn't anchored with rebar. In 25 years, 28000 rivers have vanished: cheap goods are coming to end. Each dam is the personal fiefdom of a CCP member, maximizing his personal gain by not allowing for example dam overflows to be channeled to his dam. Each rainy season, excess water breaches these dams, flooding the crops: we are heading for food shortages, but the governments of the world don't want to cause panic by alerting us to it. Ammonia prices have risen over 1000% resulting in shortages of urea fertilizer, because the Democrats are doing everything in their power to prevent oil and natural gas production. Natural gas is the main feed stock for nitrogen. Skipping one cycle of urea fertilizer results in a 40% reduction in corn yield, the main feed for cattle. Organic manure based fertilizer won't work because it pivots atop the industrial base of nitrogen production. It is a carbon based container of nitrogen, as opposed to a purer commercial bag of urea based nitrogen: cow manure, like Wind energy turbines and solar panels aren't perpetual motion machines. Ultimately you need a source of energy to suck the nitrogen out of the air, with only a percentage of such energy converted to electric energy.

Large mega farm corporations in the US couldn't secure enough urea, it wasn't available at any price. Bill Gates acquired vast tracts of land using proxies at auctions, his ownership could eventually not be kept under wraps. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/china-verge-major-food-crisis-part-1 ,https://archive.ph/ZGFu7 https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/china-verge-major-food-crisis-part-2-water, (https://archive.ph/1iEXA) China South North water project won't work because the water it brings in from the South is polluted.

Water is an unseen, vital input for all economic activity. Beyond agriculture, water is critical for power generation, mining, industry and the consumer products we rely on every single day. Like the estimated 3000 gallons of water that it takes to make the typical smartphone. https://readyforclimate.org/reports/water-crisis-in-china/ China’s economy is structurally deficient in water resources and electric power. Profound impacts on global supply chains as China’s economy struggles to adjust Structural deficiency raises risks of a near term economic hard landing in China See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJEs-28CD0E channel adapt2030 Russia stopped weat exports and fertilizer. Ukraine's invasion spiked gas futures by 40% in Europe, electricity prices are around ZAR5.4, ZA's rates is R2.50 on average.

Global warming prevented the hedge funds from investing the funds we need to prevent oil spiking to $140 as with the 2008 crash. Even if they were to invest the funds tomorrow, it will take six years at the earliest for the energy to come on line. Peter Zeihan estimates that two billion people will die of starvation over the next twenty years and that five million barrels of Russian oil will eventually be permanently removed from the market because they don't have the means of maintaining the wells, as the US oil services companies left and aren't coming back. Millions will starve in 2023 around the world, as there is no fertilizer, the ANC stalling solar and wind power prevents Sasol from expanding its domestic fertilizer production with coal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMxE7fQPpvI China will lose 1.5mil barrels of oil as African oil is diverted to Europe who will essentially start recolonizing Africa. China, like Russia had delusions of power. Their wheat was harvested 45days to early because they know that West African oil is about to be cut off. The crop was harvested green and is only suitable for animal fodder. Worsening the situation is that they are not getting their pig production back to normal and will need to transition to rice which needs a lot of Peak phosphate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erONP33MBlA (published Feb 2021, the prediction on food purchasing spree have realized) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsJM5NBsPcI published Apr.2022. The largest floods in the last 400 years are beginning to overwhelm China's central cities and surrounding grain growing and agriculture zones. At present 100+ million people will need to evacuate. With the unfathomable losses of food production, China will need to go on a buying spree unlike the world has ever seen for food imports. This will start with rice from Asia and move to every continent. The images in the video will give you an idea of the situation, and the precarious events our world will witness. Gold, silver, cryptocurrency, how will China pay for it all? China didn't build the dams for flood control but electricity generation.

https://www.yara.com/news-and-media/news/archive/news-2022/war-and-food-crisis-in-europe/ Russia and Ukraine are world powers in a global and fragile food system. The long-term consequences of the war on global food supply will impact both the rich and the poor parts of the world. It is essential to reduce the dependency on Russia. Ukraine is one of the world’s leading agricultural nations and the world’s second biggest within grains. The farmers are now entering a crucial stage in the agricultural season in which input factors such as fertilizer, seeds and water will determine the yield of the coming harvest. The most extreme calculations indicate that if fertilizer is not added to the soil, the crops can be reduced by 50% by the next harvest. In addition to being one of the largest producers of wheat, Russia has enormous resources in terms of nutrients. Plants need nitrogen, phosphate, and potash to grow. Nitrogen is supplied from ammonia, which is produced from nitrogen from air and natural gas. The importance of gas has been on the agenda in the debate around the high European gas prices in 2021 and beginning of 2022

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f13pA4OCGg latest about Ukraine war 12 June. KGB(FSB) infiltrated German Green party and paid millions to their top henchmen to fabricate false narrative about nuclear safety, shutting down German nuclear power, says Zeihan in latest 21 June geopolitical podcast. This was so that Germany became dependent on Russian gas. Ironically Putin is now threatening to use nukes, had Germany expanded its nuclear power, they would not have enabled Putin to take the world hostage and weaponize food against us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zGQFceDrIM agricultural, energy and policy failure, China won't last. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtH9rJAHbEA Energy at the End of the World Seminar | Part 3 | Peter Zeihancommentator wrote: Shale is more complicated than Peter Zeihan makes it out to be. One can't just stop and start wells on a dime, it takes time and expertise and specialized machinery, plus some wells once they are stopped can never be restarted. I know about 0.05% or less of what there is to know about shale, but I do know it's pretty complicated to react as fast as two months.

China has suspended phosphate exports, famine is coming, we only have five weaks of grain reserves. If war not resolved within two months, Russia will have to shutdown all oil production, restarting it will take years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp_oEma1J5w Russia’s Black Sea naval presence, which provides both military and economic leverage over Kyiv, had been disrupting Ukraine’s maritime trade even before the invasion. Ukraine’s ports have seen traffic fall sharply in recent weeks, according to commercial ship data reviewed by Reuters. Following Thursday’s attack, Ukraine suspended operations sea ports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3SearQIQC8 Energy flows to Europe could stop within a few weeks from Russia and will eventually win the war but at a large cost. They will have to level cities due to the arms coming into Ukraine, the conclusion seems to be that Zelinski should surrender to prevent this.

Oil, gas, coal and the “ags” are all spiralling higher together, with metals catching up fast. It is a systemic stagflation shock, an intractable problem for central bankers. It acts like a war reparations tax on the economies of importing nations and is ultimately contractionary. Natasha Kaneva, from JP Morgan, said inventories of tradable commodities are critically low and the world is running out of safety buffers. This is a recipe for “non-linear price increases”, she said.Unlike the West, China is prepared. It has been stocking up for months and holds 84 per cent of the world’s copper, 70 per cent of its corn and 51 per cent of its wheat. “China has bought enormous quantities of US soy in recent weeks,” said Rabobank.

Specifically, the video investigates how droughts in California and the Amazon lead to water scarcity for local residents, wildfires, and changing landscapes. These droughts are now exacerbated by climate change and will only make water scarcity and water access worse if drastic action is not taken to curb climate change. In addition, California's Central Valley shows clearly how agriculture can make droughts even worse by drawing unsustainable levels of water out of surrounding aquifers. The water crisis around the globe and in Central Valley has become so bad that many residents are forced to get bottled water because their tap or well water is contaminated or non-existent. In short, we're facing a global water crisis, a shortage of water that, if addressed through water conservation and climate change can be avoided.

Zaire and especially South Africa could find itself invaded by a Chinese armada. The US and Europe might not have the will to counter this. CIA agent Thomas Cromwell(Steve Bannon) in a recent speech warned that China will invade Africa, displacing everybody towards Europe. This will weaken Europe so much that the US won't have the resolve to counter China.

China has outright annexed disputed land and islands in a test run to see how Europe and the US will react when they eventually annex South Africa. With the complicity of the Chinese government, industrial chemicals are mass produced and shipped to Mexico for the manufacture of narcotics.Trump signaled Trump is signalling to China that the US is getting concerned.

In China, plagued by drought, the North China Plain aquifer sustains 117 million people in Beijing and surrounding areas. […] aquifers in several of the world’s most productive, heavily populated regions are being drawn down at precipitous rates. "NASA satellites, monitoring changes in Earth’s gravitational pull, found that 21 of the world’s 37 largest aquifers have passed the sustainable tipping point.”

In this video montage, listen to University of Nebraska-Lincoln groundwater geologist Jesse Korus and UNL geologist Matt Joeckel explain that growing plentiful crops relies on the water in the High Plains Aquifer, that underlies nearly all of Nebraska. Strategic Discussions for Nebraska provides an opportunity for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communications to interact with our fellow Nebraskans about topics vital to the state's growth and quality of life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjsThobgq7Q In places around the world, supplies of groundwater are rapidly vanishing. As aquifers decline and wells begin to go dry, people are being forced to confront a growing crisis. Much of the planet relies on groundwater. And in places around the world – from the United States to Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America – so much water is pumped from the ground that aquifers are being rapidly depleted and wells are going dry. Groundwater is disappearing beneath cornfields in Kansas, rice paddies in India, asparagus farms in Peru and orange groves in Morocco. As these critical water reserves are pumped beyond their limits, the threats are mounting for people who depend on aquifers to supply agriculture, sustain economies and provide drinking water. In some areas, fields have already turned to dust and farmers are struggling. Climate change is projected to increase the stresses on water supplies, and heated disputes are erupting in places where those with deep wells can keep pumping and leave others with dry wells.

Even as satellite measurements have revealed the problem’s severity on a global scale, many regions have failed to adequately address the problem. Aquifers largely remain unmanaged and unregulated, and water that seeped underground over tens of thousands of years is being gradually used up. In this documentary, USA TODAY and The Desert Sun investigate the consequences of this emerging crisis in several of the world’s hotspots of groundwater depletion. These are stories about people on four continents confronting questions of how to safeguard their aquifers for the future – and in some cases, how to cope as the water runs out.
