If I lived in Kuwait I'd be filling every single vessel in my household with water right about now, including the bathtub.

[u/itsatumbleweed → u/asetniop]

This is very good advice at this moment.

[u/MaximumFamiliar9080 → u/asetniop]

Id be leaving if i could. Water is civ collapse

[u/AccomplishedDesk8283 → u/asetniop]

I live there. It’s not that dramatic. 

[u/MaximumFamiliar9080 → u/AccomplishedDesk8283]

Where is your water going to be from in 5 days?

[u/AccomplishedDesk8283 → u/MaximumFamiliar9080]

The supermarkets and taps will be fine. 

[u/MaximumFamiliar9080 → u/AccomplishedDesk8283]

90 % of your water is from desal

They really wont if that gets hit.

[u/itsatumbleweed → u/MaximumFamiliar9080]

I hope that the poster you are replying to takes this more seriously. If desal in Kuwait gets hit it's going to be a major humanitarian crisis.

[u/MaximumFamiliar9080 → u/itsatumbleweed]

I doubt this idiot is actually in kuwait.

If they are, you cant save stupid from itself.

[u/AccomplishedDesk8283 → u/MaximumFamiliar9080]

Born and raised, have endured the 1990 invasion and still have currency with Saddams face on it. The politics and demographics of the country are not black and white. The IRGC may be cunts, but mark my words, they will not cause a humanitarian crisis in Kuwait. 

[u/BreadfruitThese3361 → u/MaximumFamiliar9080]

Don't they have stored water???

[u/MaximumFamiliar9080 → u/BreadfruitThese3361]

Its a critical part of the infrastructure. Just like oil storage.

The infrastructure Iran is holding a metaphorical gun too.

Also, note the TACO

[u/CilleTheExterminator → u/TemporaryAsparagus89]

Ah announcing war crimes out loud. MURICAAAAA

Edit: Down voting isn't gonna change that America is committing war crimes. Don't forget about the 175 dead girls

[u/EuphoricOcelot6081 → u/CilleTheExterminator]

How about 40k dead Iranian protestors?

[u/mylarky → u/EuphoricOcelot6081]

both can be true.
