    being “science” doesn’t make make it harmless.

    good meteorology supports military operations.

    if it hurts russia’s accuracy in predicting weather, it helps Ukraine’s chance for surviving this war.

    nobody says this particular action was a top priority, but every little resistance against the russian genocide helps.

      It was actually military R&D that helped develop meteorology to the point it is today since predicting the weather even inaccurately can be a decent boon in warfare.
