“The officer then said that even a swift return of America to its former role won’t matter.
Because “we will never fucking trust you again.”
The Americans at the table seemed somewhat startled by the heat of that pronouncement. I agreed with it entirely. So, it seemed to me, did most of the non-Americans.
… it was still being talked about the next day. “Thank God,” one allied official said to me. “Someone had to tell them.””

Readings from the #UN Global #Water "Bankrupcy" Report: (Jan, 2026)
"Over 1.8 billion people—nearly one in four humans—were living under drought conditions in 2022–2023 with the vast majority of them in low- and middle-income countries. Drought-related
damages, intensified by land degradation, groundwater depletion, and climate change rather than by rainfall deficits alone, already cost over US$307 billion per year worldwide, more than the yearly economic output of four-fifths of UN Member States."
"This report declares that the global human–water system as a whole has already entered the era of Global Water Bankruptcy. While not every basin or country is water-bankrupt, enough critical systems around the world have crossed these thresholds—and are interconnected through trade, migration, climate feedbacks, and geopolitical dependencies—that the global risk landscape is now fundamentally altered."
"Despite regional variation, the global trajectory is unmistakable. Surface water bodies are shrinking at unprecedented rates: more than half of the world’s large lakes have declined since the early 1990s, affecting nearly one-quarter of the global population that relies directly on them for water security. These losses reflect a combination of increased withdrawals, changing inflows, rising temperatures, and land-use change—far more than climate variability alone.
Rivers around the world very well reflect the Anthropogenic water reality. Around one-third of global river basins experience significant flow alterations, whether from damming, diversion, over-extraction, or climatic shifts. In some of the world’s most densely populated river basins, including the Colorado, Indus, Yellow, Tigris–Euphrates, Murray–Darling, and São Francisco, environmental flows are routinely violated, eroding ecosystems’ ability to recover. In many basins, the “normal” to which crisis managers once hoped to return has effectively vanished. Wetlands—the “shock absorbers” of the water cycle—are vanishing even faster. Around 35% of natural wetlands have been lost since 1970, with wetlands disappearing three times more quickly than forests, along with their water-storage and drought-buffering functions"
"Freshwater biodiversity trends offer a stark warning that these changes are not marginal. Globally, monitored wildlife populations across all ecosystems have declined by about 73% on average over the last five decades, but freshwater vertebrate populations have fallen by an estimated 85%, a sharper decline than in terrestrial or marine systems"
"Cryospheric decline compounds the existing pressures on water resources. The world, in multiple locations, has already lost over 30% of its glacier mass since 1970, and several low-latitude mountain ranges risk losing functional glaciers entirely within decades, eliminating long-standing natural savings accounts that once buffered seasonal water shortages. Snowpack and permafrost degradation add further uncertainty to water availability and storage in high-latitude and high-altitude systems. In glacier-fed basins across Asia, the Andes, and other mountain regions, communities are already experiencing a transition from “peak water”— a period of temporarily increased melt and runoff—to declining flows, with implications for hydropower, irrigation, and ecological integrity."
... "these trends point to a structural transformation of the global water cycle that goes beyond crisis. Humanity has already pushed the freshwater cycle beyond its safe operating space. The global freshwater boundary has been transgressed, alongside boundaries for climate, biosphere integrity, and land systems.
This means that the Earth system in the Anthropocene is operating outside the range of variability that supported the relatively stable Holocene conditions under which human societies developed."
