6. 80% of their surface water

Pakistan has accused India of weaponising water and said it will consider any attempt to change the flow of cross-border waterways as an “act of war”.

Blocking 80% of Pakistan's surface water combined with their already stressed ground water supply would be a disaster. If India carried out this threat (which would be illegal and frankly extremely difficult to execute), it would be an existential threat to Pakistan and could easily trigger a very disastrous response.

It's a good thing we have a functioning state department with experienced diplomats that can help defuse this situation!

Oh ... wait. Our ambassador to India is Sergio Gor. A GOP flunky with almost no diplomatic experience. But at least he's a warm body; our ambassador to Pakistan is ... unassigned. We have no ambassador to Pakistan.
