Russia is usually associated with COLD. The world is turned upside down. Seems like weather warfare by NATO and the Pentagon..... http://www.reformation.org/terrible-turks.html

Niall, if you truly believe that then you're a complete idiot. If NATO actually had the technology to control global weather and really desired to destroy Russia, then they could have already easily done it. The anti-western sentiment coming out of Russia these days boarders on mental illness.

Well this is terrible Crops facing a drought and People dying too in Russia this is why I do not particularly like Summer I much prefer the Spring or Autumn seasons because they are the most productive seasons, due to that Spring is the time where crops flourish and hard working Farmers can finally look forward to a summers break and Autumn another productive Season becuase this help's plants and crops replenish after a long harvest but as for Summer this is indeed a unfortunate killer. This is the reason why I do dislike the Summer. But winter is out of the question. I can only offer my sympathy to those that have died in Russia and also the hard working farmers that cannot catch a break because of this "invisible hot killer".
