You mean then Vice President Johnson knew what he was talking about back when he proclaimed:
“It lays the predicate and foundation for the development of a weather satellite that will permit man to determine the world's cloud layer and ultimately to control the weather; and he who controls the weather will control the world” - Vice President Johnson at Southwest Texas State University (1962)
If we have that tech I know where there’s some cotton and wheat fields that would like to meet it
At what point do they have an insurrection on their hands?
Apparently there was a group of mothers out protesting these changes this weekend and they were arrested and it has become a VERY volatile and touchy subject...so there is some public discontent over this already
UK Intelligence Reports Increase in Russian Soldiers Leaving Positions Amid Declining Morale
In a noteworthy disclosure by UK intelligence, an increasing number of Russian soldiers are leaving their posts, coinciding with a reported decline in army morale. Here is what we currently understand about the situation among military ranks.Recent intelligence from the UK indicated that nearly 100 Russian soldiers have faced convictions every week for refusing to engage in combat activities within Ukraine.
Reliable sources within the British intelligence community conveyed figures sourced from Mediazona, a prominent independent Russian news outlet known for its unbiased reporting.
The UK Ministry of Defence swiftly commented on the matter, highlighting that the overwhelming number of convictions “demonstrates the poor state of morale in the Russian Army and the reluctance of some elements to fight.”
A pattern had emerged – many soldiers were showing an increasing reluctance to participate in the ongoing conflict.
The UK Ministry of Defence straightforwardly highlighted a broader concern within Russia regarding the motivation of their soldiers to engage in combat.
Despite doubling pay for various ranks in its military, Russia found itself struggling to attract new recruits.
On the surface, the military offers one of the most lucrative career paths, but the realities of the battlefield often differ from initial expectations.
As of March 2023, a disturbing trend has emerged.
Data from military courts, meticulously tracked by Mediazona, revealed an alarming surge in cases involving Russian soldiers absent without official leave (AWOL).
In a shocking revelation, two Russian soldiers were recently handed sentences requiring them to spend a minimum of two years within a penal colony, a separate location used to exile members of a population.
Their crime? Disobeying direct orders to return to the frontlines in Ukraine with UK officials swift to find the core reasons behind this trend.
The combination of inadequate training, lack of motivation, and the incredibly high-stress environment on the battlefield all contributed to the growing trend.
Behind the scenes, while some soldiers flat-out refused to engage, the Russian military continued to experience significant attrition rates.
One shocking strategy involved enlisting the help of Central Asian migrant workers who were residing in Russia, with lucrative offers on the cards. As an added incentive, a substantial $5,200 sign-on bonus was offered to those hailing from neighboring Kazakhstan.

I had no idea Russia's national budget was so small. I originally thought the TwiX post left off a couple of zeros and/or misplaced the decimal. Right or wrong, 9.5 billion is a rounding error in the US budget.
