The post’s author said they had enjoyed Fred Pearce’s *When the Rivers Run Dry*, describing it as a book about shrinking water resources and their effect on relations between states.

The author wrote that the September 2026 issue of the "Indian Monitor" addressed the topic of dams and the multilateral foreign policy of New Delhi. He stated that the Prime Minister of Pakistan threatened to regard India's detention of Indus waters as an act of war, and China was building a dam, which he described as the largest in the world and harmful to India. #Indie #Pakistan #polityka #IN #PK #CN (translated)

The most shocking bit is when Flannery is asked by a woman to help her escape from her abusive husband. The author refuses, arguing that her husband had been abducted as a child too. There had been many abductions in New Guinea, he argues, so it's hard to untangle this morally. #MoralDilemma #AbuseSurvivors #NewGuineaStories #PG #AU
