China To Produce Artificial Weather

[Dr Maturin]

Did you actually read the article? I'm sorry, but that makes no sense at all. If it were the slightest bit useful as a weapon, don't you think somebody would have used it against somebody else in the last 50 years or so since it was discovered? In fact, it's really quite low-tech and cheap 'technology'.

With vastly-improved delivery systems and a little imagination, the limitations are endless.

Your logic fails in that it could be said about nukes, too.

I can never tell whether these threads (and the people in them) are serious or not. So I think I'll just amuse myself at the thought of the modern-day swords-to-plowshares bit.

And...all this has what to do with making it rain?

It's a potential weapon. We need to neutralize it. Like I said, though, the fact that we've developed sci-fi "shields" shows that we're outpacing them in the tech race.

China is a thoroughly unethical organization.

and have the worlds largest standing army, with a 6000 year history of empire(don't let the bullshit about comunism fool you, its the imperial empire with a new name)

What's to look into? The technology's nothing new, just that they're using it regularly.

I'm sure that some three-letter agencies will be looking into that...

Too bad that we developed shields first, though.

Some more sci-fi becomes reality. We'll see how it goes.
