    Well, it’s not like a damn can halt all water for long in a region like that. Unless they divert water to somewhere else at some point it is gonna be full. The question is more who can wait longer. Nevertheless a horrific action by a guy who instigated multiple genocidal pogroms.

      I’m no dam engineer, but it looks like the reservoir is fairly close to full already. I assume overtopping the dam would be Very Bad.

      I don’t know if the dam is valuable to Pakistan in terms of hydroelectric power, but if the water is more valuable, I’d be considering blowing the dam. I’m sure India would take it as an act of war, though.

        If my hundreds of hours of Cities Skylines have taught me anything, this move is guaranteed to send endless tsunami shockwaves back at India

            You literally justified the killing of hundreds,if not thousands, and the rape hundreds of Indian citizens. Woman, children, etc.

            That has nothing to do with Pakistan. It was a pogrom. And you justified it by pointing at Pakistan?

            You are definitely part of the problem.
