Germany ain’t exactly lacking water.

Well, this year looks grim in some parts too. We're having a draught year, and those are getting more common.

I know, the drought is big this year, but we are still nowhere as desperate as let’s say the Californians.

Well with the drought we had this summer and the poisoning of Oder River it doesn’t look all to good right now

I can keep two crises in mind at once. Indeed, I follow a half-dozen crises closely.
Climate is the preeminent crisis of this century, as it effects the next 50+ centuries. I'm mindful of the fact that some person of the next 5000 years won't live for every 50±20 tons of CO2 I might emit in my lifetime. The average emission in the world is 4 tons per year. In the US its 16 tons. Mine is probably around 5 tons, and I do everything I can (vote, not procreate, eat veg, bike on all nearby errands) to reduce my footprint. Largely futile, until there are enough like me to vote out all the climate deniers.
But Russia reverting to its imperialist ways, treating its neighbors as subjects, is a major immediate problem. It doesn't take much time reading the geopolitical thinkers behind Putin's war to discover that if Ukraine is conquered, all the other countries of the former Russian empire (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan), as well as Poland and Slavic Balkan states (Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria) are considered for further acquisition. The world hasn't faced such an openly racist expansionist empire since 1945.
