      “We are fighting over guzzoline.”

      “The world is actually running out of water.”

      “Now there’s the Water Wars.”

      Canada is amongst the most water rich nations in the world , 20% of fresh water reserves of the world .

      No wonder Trump is obsessed with Canada and Greenland. It’s been reported that the future wars would be fought over water .

      As greenhouse gases emissions don’t abate, the US will eventually get Greenland’s water. In the form of 7m sea-level rise.

      I don’t understand water issues. Build desalination and pipelines. It’s not rocket science. We need water to live – period.

      Well utility water in the US costs less than 1 cent per gallon, I don’t really believe the US has a water crises.

      Water and ice has a very very low dollar to mass value.

      Ice bergs are already floating and much easier to capture and take to the US if you ever were that desperate, but given things like the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River it seems crazy to think it would be cheaper to move ice from Greenland where it is landfast.

      The only reason I have to think anyone is taking this seriously and not a junk clickbait story is the low information type people in the administration.

      “If we can get Greenland, it’s totally okay if we destroy the Boundary Waters” said one nazi cunt to another.

      Americans have ruined their own country so now they’re exporting their problems to the rest of the world.

    14. adinis78 on

      At this point anything involving Greenland will be spunned as “being of National security”

    16. coffeebeards on

      Herp derp.

      I create massive AI server infrastructure that guzzles the populations water supply so you can make Grok porn.

      Guess who owns a wat bottling plant in Greenland, one of Trumps buddies of Estee Lauder fame.

    20. bluegrassgazer on

      The USA literally has the largest fresh water reserves in the world with the Great Lakes.

    21. Leverkaas2516 on

      If the USA considered water to be a national security issue, we’d treat our rivers and acquifers very, very differently.

      The fact of the way we actually operate is proof that water is NOT a national security issue.

      Wouldnt Iceland be a better choice? I mean, who wants green water? Besides Flint Michigan? (or did they fix that?)

    24. obeytheturtles on

      Aren’t the US great lakes already like the world’s biggest supply of freshwater?

    25. TheOtherOne551 on

      They could helicopter ice to California, I think I’ve seen that in a Donald Duck story, so it should be feasible.

    26. M1sfit_Jammer on

      Wouldn’t it be easier, more cost effective, and job producing to desalinate seawater vs shipping freshwater for an entire continent?

    27. EchoInOurChamber on

      This whole article(and headline) is based on quotes from few dudes in the water industry…

    28. tombatron on

      Maybe if we had some environmental regulations to preserve the freshwater we already have?

    29. Sprinqqueen on

      Wait, I thought selling all our water reservoirs to Nestlé and Coke was a good idea that led us to own the world. What do you mean it just went into the pockets of billionaires instead of helping the average citizen /s

    31. FederalGovernmentUS on

      It’s always about money isn’t it? Greed always ruins good things.

    32. Nyanek on

      you could also just..u know…not build surfing and golfing resorts in the desert

    33. Accidental-Genius on

      I don’t think Greenland is more accessiable than Lake Michigan or cheaper than desalination.

    35. FestivalNudista on

      As a Canadian, the freshwater issues for the USA keep me up at night. It’s only a matter of time before they backstab us and invade for our water.

    36. macrocosm93 on

      The Greenland issue isn’t settled.

      There’s a reason why you hardly heard any politicians speaking out against Trump, not even Democrats. Because they know Greenland would be a major asset for the US, essentially being the Alaska of the Atlantic.

    37. snow_big_deal on

      „President Trump, we have to start charging more for this water – we lost four men on this mission.“

      „If you can think of a better way to get water, I’d like to hear it“

    38. canspop on

      Why not tell trump he can get free ice from the poles? Just pick it up & ship to the US. He’d probably be stupid enough to try.

    39. HeavenInVain on

      Its Why he constantly mentions Canada.

      We got alot of minerals here, but america wants complete ownership of the great lakes

    40. smartshoe on

      The water knife is a great book foreshadowing of what is likely to happen when water runs out

      Worth a read
