That actually sounds realistic but a few years back I think I read that it was Soviet mismanagement that caused this.

100%, all land eventually returns to the sea.

It was they made Uzbekistan a single crop country and it fucked up the landscape

socialism did this
Evan Martin
They used more water than the replenishment rate and diverted rivers so i'm not sure it would unless they all stopped fucking about over there.

Makes me kind of sad, bros.

The british ambassador is a retard,it was the soviet Union.
I'm pretty sure Russia gives them reparation bucks now

Blame the Government (as usual). The people are are just trying to live.

Even when I hate commies, this was brilliant. They diverted the rivers that flowed into that sea, to irrigate rice fields and thus feed all the Russians.
The collateral damage of this plan was that the sea dried up.

because fuck everyone else, i need to water this stuff

American businessmen made Uzbekistan drain the entire Aral sea in the 1990s to screw Kazakhstan because they're aligned with Russia.
Left: Aral sea on the last year of the Soviet.
Right: Aral sea after American businessmen started operating in Uzbekistan.
Evan Cooper
remember what they stole from you
Jaxon Brown
lol? lying memeflaggot
Colton Campbell
Pretty likely, so long as they actually allow the water to flow into the basin again. The North Aral sea has recovered quite well after the efforts of the Kazakh government to preserve it. If the Uzbekhis got on board with similar programs, it would likely be able to return within a few decades.

This is the information the CIA gives you can look it up on the CIA country guide.
You can either trust an anglo or American anglos about the slav issue. So you're out of luck getting the truth

stalin wanted cotton farms in azerbaijan or some other country, the farms failed and the sea drained

>From 1960 to 1998, the sea's surface area shrank by about 60%, and its volume by 80%. In 1960, the Aral Sea had been the world's fourth-largest lake, with an area around 68,000 km2 (26,000 sq mi) and a volume of 1,100 km3 (260 cu mi); by 1998, it had dropped to 28,687 km2 (11,076 sq mi) and eighth largest. The salinity of the Aral Sea also increased: by 1990 it was around 376 g/L.[5] (By comparison, the salinity of ordinary seawater is typically around 35 g/L; the Dead Sea's salinity varies between 300 and 350 g/L.)

Diverting water to grow crops is OK. Only problem is the Soviets didn't actually grow any food for people and instead had forced labor grow cotton exports.

we have a place like that in california its called the Salton Sea its an ecological disaster.
also north of hollywood in the valley is perhaps the worst nuke accident site in the entire USA, test reactors at "Santa Susanna" national fuel lab
also lots of rocketfuel watse... Boeing runs the site now doing remediation with plants. many of those plants burned in the fire up there recently kek
Tyler Lewis
I am pretty sure the water diversion happened after collapse of USSR and the likes of Jeff Sachs came to USSR to impose genocidal economic policies.
he should be in the Hague for his "shock therapy" policies
DCI of US literally took a victory lap in red square after the collapse, Yeltsin was their man.

Nestle is unironically draining the Great Lakes right now, some guy with the best cowboy name ever, escapes me at the moment, has already drained the aquifers.

do they have a laboratory in the Caspian?

the ussr dissolved in 1991. the aral sea began receding in 1960, 31 years previous to the fall of the ussr.

ah no, or I don't know, I just meant in terms of water Caspian is deeper and obviously huge, it probably has importance beyond the obvious of oil and gas.
Apparently there is oil and gas all over central asia too.
Michael Hall
okay well I didn't look it up but Jeff Sachs is still a genocidal economist who brought Russia's misery and death rates up to record highs with "shock therapy" and of course the robber barons or whatever.

Billionaire T. Boone Pickens owned more water rights than any other individuals in America, with rights over enough of the Ogallala Aquifer to drain approximately 200,000 acre-feet (or 65 billion gallons of water) a year. But ordinary citizens cannot collect rainwater runoff on private land.
Jack Richardson
damn I used to like T. Boone Pickens and in retrospect I have no idea why...
I never liked Warren Buffet or any of those faggots either.
Josiah Hill
yea a lot of water rights in us where sold to china also it acts like a money washing aspect. from Obama crime legacy. get off you, handlers for the jews

This was peak USSR. They decided to divert the rivers that fed Aral sea to irrigate the desert around it. As fucked up as it sounds it was part 1 of the plan. Part 2 was to divert Siberian rivers to feed Aral sea. At Part 2 of the plan the USSR fell apart, and Aral sea and Siberia are different countries now. Imagine unintended consequences of Part 2?
US is a lot like late Soviet Union, though. Aral Sea destruction was the unintended consequences of good intentions, and USSR decided to double down on idiocy. US does it all the time now too. The good thing about SU falling apart is it was independent from the rest of the world, so it didn't have contagion and viable things could recover. US is interconnected to the rest of the world, so contagion will be epic. It's scary how many similarities are there now between the US and SU. Lots of differences too, but sensibilities are very similar now between Americans and Soviets.
t. Was a kid when departed failing SU before it actually collapsed.
Christian Murphy
is this the one where they claimed to see a Lake Monster decades ago or was that a different sea?
Brody Carter
>I am pretty sure the water diversion happened after collapse of USSR and the likes of Jeff Sachs came to USSR to impose genocidal economic policies.
You're correct. The Soviet Union used a little bit of the Aral Sea to initiate farming, it's true, but up until the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Aral sea was still there in it's original shape.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, American businessmen and economic advisors told Uzbekistan to use the entire sea to turn Uzbekistan into a wealthy nation. End result? Uzbekistan still poor and the Aral sea is gone.
>the aral sea began receding in 1960
Receding partially and they never planned to go further. Every nation uses a little bit of a sea or modifies rivers, as long the water bodies continue growing fish and having sea life, draining the entire sea like Americans did is ecological terrorism.
