Bad weather, good for LCAC operation against Taiwan by PRC. Also if bad weather over Europe, better for land armour to roll unimpeded, Allied air response is hampered. Jan/Feb here will have people out of work, easy to whip up Civil War 2 amongst the laid off anti-vaxxers & Alt-Reich in general. China & Russia both have dedicated cyber armies that have been priming the pump for awhile. A CW makes a great distraction. India coincidentally lost her top general in a mysterious helicopter crash, so another adversary degraded. Nothing in it for China & Russia to wait, Australia just gets better armed every day. These "Leaders for Life" have things to do.
