Water is best, Dirt and Sand would be impractical. But we have to think about the fact that the Storage system together would be the size of two large cars. The issue with storage would be most problamatic and so would the cost of building these tanks. It could easily ho upto 20,000 dollars for two tanks if not higher.

I'll put it like this - in India there is no lack of entertainement industry or cultural expression, Unlike most countries most Indians consume Indian Movies and TV shows. The box office hits of most of India are always Indian movies with the only exception ever being Avatar and Endgame. Fun fact - India produces 2000 movies a year, That's more than the rest of the world combined.

But what exactly did the Kurds or Afghans do to not suddenly be enemies of the US? Even China has not made a single aggressive move against a recognised US ally (Albeit Taiwan does count, So this one may slide). I don't want to defend China, But it's not like they started a trade war yo delibrately weaken the other side.

Alright just explain to me why you Westerners keep trying to reduce the Indo-Russian relationship? It's always weird that you guys say that - "Russia didn't help India, It was the USSR', " Russia didn't help India, It was the Comunist government that did" And "Russia was not an Indian ally it was just a coincidence". Its like saying that the West and Japan are not allies it's just or like the West and SK are not allies. Just denying the history won't suddenly fix it.

I am not China but here is what I would do if I was China -

Cause border conflicts in India

Spread propaganda in the West that since India didn't help the West in Ukraine, The West shouldn't help India

West sends no aid to to India, So indians become angry

Spread propoganda in India that the West has always been anti-Indian and they haven't forgotten their colonial mentality

Effectively cripple every single alliance Indian and The West have at the cost 2-3 Chinese soldiers and maybe a 100 million dollars for the propaganda.

Laugh maniacly.

It's actually a very dangerous game, If India angers the West It's economy and Geopolitcal situation is fucked, If it angers China it's economy and Geopolitical situation is fucked, If it angers Russia it's Economy is safe but Geopolitics is massively fucked.

It's interesting also in the fact that Historically, Both China and the US have never been Indian allies, yet angering them hurts India the most but Russia has been an ally and hurting them would pain the least.

Indian people also don't share much interests with Western citizens, other than capitalism and Being Anti-China. Plus there is common rhetoric in India that after the West has 'dealt' with China, India will be next on the chopping block. There is fundemental distrust of the West in India especially in Western hegemony, and most Westerns do have the idea that 'India' is just an alliance of convienience and Indias history of Western allignment is almost none. Suffice to say both sides have good reasons to distrust the other side and the Ukraine war shows that Cold War scars are still remembered by India and 'gotten over' by the West.
