Battle with heaven - therein lies endless joy

OMG! This is the classic propaganda slogan.

20 cm is about 8" of snow. I take it this area normally gets no snow.

If I was in charge of procuring weapons of deterrent I would put an intense effort to create devices that can have weather effects, like frequency generators to create earthquakes, thermaleffective micro devices such as airborne nannites that can be steered to an area like a huge insect swarm and manipulates moisture, pressure and ice crystal formation, and even devices to shift magnetic directions over a subcontinent area.

One could theoretically control the weather upon another country without having to send troops or material in, I can just imagine the strategists recently making game plans of a what-if scenario of a foreign country shut down by adverse weather and if used for an extended time could bring a country down financially.

I wonder how much this effect is going to ripple down to the US economy and its dependence of “lower priced” goods from China.It would be so ironic to see some bare shelf space at Walmart.
