Yes… I know… the point was not that AI is stealing water from the Middle East. The point is that, whether its datacenters in the west, or climate change in the Middle East, profit motive, corporate greed, and theft are the main causes of water scarcity and lack of water collaboration. As is stated more elegantly in the numerous sources I’ve linked - which quantify water scarcity at the hands of corporations.

these places were going to run out of water eventually anyways

Source? This is a massive statement. You think that since humans first settled the Middle East, they were doomed to run out of water? How do even prove or disprove this? Any analysis here is predicated upon a history of capitalism and imperialism.
