That's stupid. China has a huge coastline and Japan is SURROUNDED by water. Maybe your sensational muck-raking might get some shocked reactions from gaia, but not here.

SALT-WATER you idiot.

It's the 12st century. Every country is civilized enough not to start wars, except maybe the USA and their sidekick the UN.

Desalination requires a lot of energy.

>>3250972
This is fucking expensive, though.

China would win easily.

China only wages one-sided warfare against dissenters. Truly enlightened behavior.

It's the secret to growing larger.

I predict a World War III will break out in the Koreas, or when China asserts control over Taiwan (which they have showed interest in doing, they are building a fucking NAVY for exactly that purpose.)

The axis will be the Arabic powers, Taiwanese rebels, China & North Korea...

The allies will be Japan, The US, The EU, South Korea and Taiwan.

I think Russia will play both sides of the field. Sneaky bastards.

desalinization my friend, and the real problem of world today is overpopulation.

>>3251014
What about the Mexicanos and the rest of South America?

>>3251014

No, the axis will be Japan and Turkey and maybe Germany again.

You do realize modern nuclear power facilities have an extremely, extremely slim chance of accidents happening, right?
Also some population loss would do China some good.

>>3251024
Are you kidding me? The developed world, especially America is overpopulated as fuck. We spend and waste way beyond mother nature's means. America alone consumes 20-25% of the world's daily oil production.

>>3251024

protip: we live in the same world.
that's why the developed side of world are being flooded with Mexicans and Muslims.

>>3251030
China and India, up-and-coming first world countries (thanks globalized free trade, thanks a fucking lot) constitute 1/3 of the world's population.
When they DO become first world countries and start using resources like the US or EU, we're all screwed bro.

Hail to Hamdo, the Ruler of Heliwood!

Everyone wants oil. It's great stuff- fairly easy to transport, has a lot of potential energy, converts into pure carbon dioxide and water when properly burned, and there are a multitude of other chemical products that can be produced from it. The problem is that it doesn't renew itself at a rate that can sustain current consumption, and the most easily accessed deposits of the stuff are already being depleted. The cost is going to start jacking up, to whatever point some other source of energy can price match it.

Wars over it are likely, but only between fairly poor and undeveloped countries, as the richer ones have too much infrastructure that can be ruined. After all, if all those nice wells, pipelines, and refineries get blown up, the winner has to rebuild them. It's just plain cheaper to buy the stuff, and you don't have to worry about the wells being spiked with radioactive elements, thus denying everyone access to the oil.

>the wells being spiked with radioactive elements, thus denying everyone access to the oil.

And therein lies the truth:
"If my country can't have it, NO ONE WILL! MHAHA!"

>>3251030 especially America is overpopulated as fuck

Much of America's landmass is utterly uninhabited, you realize, our overall population is only 80 to the square mile compared to China's 363 to the square mile. Of largest cities proper, we don't even have one in the top ten. By urban area we have one. We have a comfortable population, especially for our level of technology and infrastructure.

ITT we fail to realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the realm of natural resources.

also
>war between China and South-Korea/Japan
I think you mean
>war between China and South-Korea/USA
You forget that their military is our military

>>3251081
>Much of America's landmass is utterly uninhabited
Uninhabitable land, ie. deserts, salt flats, the tops of fucking mountains, etc, are justifiably ignored from this little equation

>>3251081

>Overpopulation is a condition where an organism's numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat.

The American organism exceeded the carrying capacity of its habitat decades ago. America doesn't have enough water to cover its needs, not enough natural resources, not enough land to for all those delicious burgers, and corn and whatnot.

>>3251081
this reminds me of something my mandarin teach told me in college. She said the first thing she said when she came to america was "Where are all the people?". That goes to show you just how densely populated china is compared to the US

>>3251081
Not to mention that if it wasn't for immigration, the US population would be slowly decreasing. It's the same across nearly the entire industrialized world, and it's all because children are really expensive to raise in non-agrarian economies (since they're not allowed to work, or schooled instead of worked).

theres some island that japan and china always bickerin about cos its full of sweet sweet resources. japan would get pwnd by china if it was a war since japan doesnt even have proper army.altho i hear it has a sweet battlecruiser pegasus or some shit

For the first time since the colonial days, and it's thanks to this ethanol stupidity.

How the FUCK does an island lack water?

I agree ethanol is BULLshit.

Old men... are the future.

Within the week, there will be old men, running the world.
No, within six months.
