Cloud seeding is one thing - this is a huge injection of dirt and debris into the upper atmosphere in a short amount of time - i .e. similiar to what you get with a volcanic eruption but occuring in multiple locations spreading the dust and debris worldwide, especially with nukes going off in as many places as they did with the worldwide attacks on oil processing centers and oil fields
the effect of such injections of debris and dust from volcanic eruptions has been well documented - The Year without a Summer for instance after one such major eruption
add in all the fires from conventional fighting, forest fires started by weaponry, oil fields burning out of control and you have a perfect mix for increased rainfall and shorter growing seasons due to lack of sunlight penetrating thru the debris clouds
so a large scale drought in such conditions - very highly improbable - local droughts are always possible but not the uber drought after that amount of debris and dust is injected into the atmosphere - and if nukes were used in the oceans to go after ships or subs or to blue out sensors before the TMD - then you have a lot of water vapor blown into the skies as well with the nuke strikes - and we know there were a lot of strikes on harbors and coastal cities
in a way what the war did was cloud seeding on a scale no one would ever attempt - and the extended nature of the global nuclear strikes kept pumping more debris and dust into the air - this wasnt one spasm over a few days but nuclear strikes that went on for months and even into 1998 - thats a very long sustained period of "dust pumping" into the atmosphere - similiar to a sustained series of volcanic eruptions
if the nuclear stage of the war had been short - say a week - or if it had been confined to just the US, Europe and European Russia - it might not have been as bad - but going on for months plus spreading the nukes all over the world - that would have been about as bad as it gets to inject moisture and dust into the atmosphere
as to HW - you are right and I am sorry - no reason to go any further into that particular subject
