    We’ll control the wind and rain. It was a saying in soviet block during cold war and elites really thought they would. By spraying chemicals in clouds etc. Disgusting.

      What’s disgusting about this?

      Also Soviet agriculture, say, used anti-hail rockets to prevent conditions for hail from forming.

      It was both useful for agriculture in mountainous regions and also allowed people in places like NK to arm themselves with something relatively long-range when they had to fight for their lives.
