The latest news I read from Germany was that the Rhine is now so low on water that its importance as a commercial waterway for transporting raw materials and finished products is being significantly compromised. The water level in places is now well below that required for navigation by the barges. It is the second time in the space of a few years that inland shipping in Europe has been thwarted by this sort of problem. The War in Ukraine is also causing bottlenecks in the inland transport...

As Michael Hudson has been saying, this has been the plan for the entire Global South/East since the colonial era that has morphed into neoliberalism, neo-imperialism and neocolonialism.
