http://data.worldbank.org/country/united-states#cp_fin some interesting data there to compare. rome didn't have the technology nor the means, but the u.s. is going to enter into post-empire slowly. slower than the u.k. did, and milk it for everything.

It does make you wonder if the increase in earth quakes or typhoons and so forth are being caused by man-made technology to disrupt the economies their enemies.

It would make sense. The U.S. and its main rivals are locked in M.A.D. so they have to resort to proxy wars and other less direct methods like cyber warfare, economic warfare etc etc. Weather war would be hard to trace and is far more devastating over a wider area Not to mention the demoralizing affects of such actions. Causing drought conditions for instance could lead to famine which leads to internal strife causing a revolt or coup. Then you send in recovery crews to profit from redevelopment. Pretty sweet deal these guys are working.

Those are just possible scenarios. Sanctions come with unexpected backlash. Who is going to question mother nature? Geo-engineering being another.
Just a hint that the US could cause earthquakes and shut down your infrastructure is enough to be a deterrent as well. Nukes are just too dirty warfare is beyond that now. People mentioned HAARP and if it is being used to manipulate or weaponize weather but there are many other uses for the technology. Weather manipulation could just be a side effect for all anyone in the public knows. | ||

It is all very over the public's head and sounds too sci-fi for most to believe but they would not have treaties that they ignore apparently against it if it were not possible and that was 30+ years ago the tech now probably blows that away. Stuff everyone has suspected for years is becoming public like railguns the navy are using and there has been a lot of chatter about some type of electrical weapon that was used in Iraq and surrounding places. | |||
