They also planned on diverting rivers in Western Europe so as to not serve Eastern Bloc nations, to modify the weather and expel all the heavy rain to Russia (only allowing light, gentle rain to fall on the US wheatfields), and to use the moon as a test target (largely destroying it by the time they had finished).

There were even plans for atomic artillery, and atomic bullets with roughly the power of a hand grenade to blow up enemy (commies naturally) forces.
