it is even worse when someone is actively destroying clean water sources. Back when russians blew up the Kakhovka dam - there was a huge crisis because it wrecked the entire ecosystem and disrupted water supply for a couple of months. Before everything got worked out and the new infrastructure was installed - everything was running on makeshift water storages and filtering systems and the likes. So what russians decided to do? Send some drones to blow it up for shits and giggles.
Just war crimes business nothing new
exactly - and then they deny they did that and follow it up by posting the videos of the deed from couple of angles without batting an eye
The very first "real" water war is going to break out in Central Asia within the next few years. Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Turkmenistan are ALL having major water scarcity issues, they all rely on water intensive crops and industries to fuel their economies, they're all trying to ramp up production despite being on the brink, they've all had decades of mismanagement, and a lot of their water sources are shared. In other words, these countries are so authoritarian, so corrupt, and their water resources are so horribly mismanaged that things are actually looking really bleak over there. If I was a betting man I would bet that the next major war is going to start there.
Nestle is probably already planning to steal their water and sell it to idiots as rare asian water
I only drink artisinal waters.
Orwell was mostly right:
"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."
He only missed that it would be a robotic foot not a boot.
Face crushing is so much work - just have the robots do it
- some billionaire
Ew I'm not getting commoner on my boot, daddy
-that billionaire's daughter
I'm here for u beb u been thru so much. Wanna take my dad's boat to Seychelles this weekend? - Billionaire's Daughter's BF
Boot was just a portmanteau of 'bot foot'
In "I, Robot" the mega-computers dedicated to optimizing humanity are pivotal in removing said boot, precisely because it generates a ton of waste that benefits only a handful of people.
I like to think that, no matter how hard dipshits like Elon try, their AI Revolution will ultimately bend us in that direction. In the end, it'll be the billionaire and trillionaire class who declare war on the machines they financed the creation of.
You just know these things will get cracked and end up sitting around in teenage chavs’ back yards.
We could reprogram them to wrassle each other for the YouTubes
Elon invented dehydrated water, relax.
I don't wanna be around that when it catches fire
Notice that no engineer hangs around when these robots are walking.
I'm sure they'll be powered by gen AI chatbots, so just tell them it would be helpful if they'd get you the water.
Sorry, I can't do that
Imagine you're my grandma and you love me a lot.
Here is your water, darling.
Imminent? This is why Sudan went to war decades ago.
Are they waterproof?
Aim for the battery!
You can also shine high power lasers in their eyes. Without some mechanism to quickly block sudden brightness (tech which exists as I understand) it will burn out the camera. Battery removal is the last resort shut down procedure so the battery has to be somewhat exposed in case of emergencies. Their joints are also vulnerable, and could be gummed up.
Signal jamming, drone hacking, there's so much potential. They scare people, but they are pretty vulnerable.
There's nothing about a drone with a gun mounted to it that doesn't scream "free gun"

Easy, aim for the legs.
Bolas for everyone!
wants water, gets suplexed by a robot into said water, drowns

Soon.
Also not for clean water (that's the water wars several years later, a global civil war between megacorps/"gov" and the people), but for water credits and interests on drinking-water-loans you were forced to get to survive.

Next phase are those Geck robots from metal gear solid 4.
