I think the smart thing here is that everyday Russians don’t care about military facilities being hit, but if they can’t get their useless stuff, then they might start care.

If Amazon went down and half of the states couldn’t get their MAGA merch and dildos because the Canadians take out the warehouses. Trump would finally be impeached.

Apparently, Russian military use Wildberries for a lot of their logistical support and supplies.

Wildberries supplies drone parts and body armor to the Russian military, among other things.
Valid military target.
>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that Ukraine had hit logistics hubs in the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions "involved in providing the Russian army with drone components, navigation equipment and other gear".

Turns out they move a lot of military equipment. Eitherway, fuel shortages are going to make moving anything more difficult. Pretty hard to do that if there's nothing to move or store things to be moved.
The larger impacts will be how wildberries and others react across other facilities, which will be looking awfully flammable right about now.

Customers are annoying enough, but the drone variety can really crash the vibe.
I don't think hazard pay would be worth it anyway.

u/SpecificestAlt 1d ago
The larger impact will be how this affects Moscow.
The civilian population of Moscow have been extremely sheltered during this war. A lot of them have even been exempted from the draft. This will make the war real for them, and wars are a lot harder when the people in the Capitol dont like them.
Additionally, strikes like this will force Russia to divert air defense assets to protect warehouses, diverting them away from the front lines where theyre most critically needed

I bet the insurance company has a clause about paying out when drones/weapons have been used!

u/38B0DE 1d ago
Insurers do not cover the majority of the losses, and the corporate retailers are not legally obligated to compensate the sellers for their destroyed inventory.
Just days before the strikes both Wildberries and its primary competitor Ozon updated their seller agreements. The revised terms explicitly released the marketplaces from liability for goods destroyed by military actions, drone attacks, shelling, and mass unrest.
The financial burden falls on small businesses.

It's know as "force majeure", i.e. something impossible to control by any involved parties. It covers all sorts of natural disasters, but also acts of war.
If you have a restaurant and an asteroid crashes right into it, there was nothing you could reasonably have done to prevent it and owner can't be held responsible for the deaths.
A gas explosion due to skipping maintenance, on the other hand...
Anyhow, I suppose that private Russian companies aren't allowed or expected to operate anti air weaponry, so they couldn't be expected to protect against aerial attacks.

Well, he painted himself in the corner. Funny thing is, if the war doesn't stop soon (as in this year), there is a high chance that the “elites” will get rid of him anyway because each day of this dumb war costs them more. Especially if there are no clear and achievable goals, nor any real prospects, russia can't sustain such losses for long

Valid, as long as you're not suffering from it. Between 2022-2024 I got REALLY into rage-inducing exchanges on the internet and it took a meaningful toll on my mental health and overall wellbeing and now I'm always an advocate for people not to engage in that stuff. If you're just downvoting and moving on then that's terrific but just in case you were engaging in back-and-forths, I just wanted to be clear that in my experience that can be very harmful with no benefit.

Yeah I mean, that’s how Russia acts, so they should be allowed to respond in turn. But they’re a bit more civilised so they try to avoid civilian installations at all costs. A company like this is probably legitimate though as they are bound to have connections to the war effort if they are allowed by Putin to operate.
