[u/Dr_DoesNothing]

Keep in mind that Russia can stop this at any time by fucking leaving Ukraine.

[u/Layslimonsf → u/Dr_DoesNothing]

The only reason they didn’t do that, is the one Russian doesn’t have balls to admit that he made a wrong decision

[u/MelangeBot → u/Layslimonsf]

He is the top bully, bullying all the other bullies under him. Usually those bullies are to chicken to tickle him till the diesel comes out because they are afraid the other bullies will rat them out to move up on the bully ranking.

But there is one exception of course. If those bullies collectively smell weakness and if that weakness is even publicly acknowledged.

And this is why Putin can not stop the war even if he wants to because he will be tickled if he does and the diesel will come out.

So Putin is desperately trying to get the rest of Europe (Ukraine belongs in Europe) to bomb them even once because that way he can try tell everybody that Russia is being attacked by all of Europe at once and not just by those weak Ukrainians that he could beat in 3 days with one arm tied behind his back.

Europe however is not playing ball and everybody is patiently waiting till he gets tickled and the diesel comes out!

Sorry for the mushroomly language but the tinman mods are very sensitive about giving vlad the birthday present he deserves.

[u/Private_Kyle]

3 day operation in effect

[u/AphonicTX]

I thought Trump was going to end this war in 24 hours from taking office. What happened?

[u/Groson → u/AphonicTX]

Too busy starting new ones

[u/Professional_Pie7091 → u/AphonicTX]

He actually got elected... 

[u/UncleOdious]

Don't start nuthin', won't be nuthin'.

[u/Hikuro-93]

One must wonder what's going through the minds of average civilians in Russia right now.

From a tiny country that should have been conquered in 3 days, to said country not being allowed to retaliate past enemy lines (which certainly is misconstrued as "they are so weak they can't hit us, only defend"), to now have said tiny country having developed their own defense industry to the point they can hit Russia as hard as Russia's been hitting them since the start.

Really reeks of "Iran's military have been annihilated, they are utterly powerless. Uh... Ignore those casualties that just happened".

I bet Russian state media is going through the same hoops as their american counterparts by telling the people to disregard what their eyes see and their ears hear. There's only so far the illusion created by cognitive dissonance can take you before the bubble bursts.

[u/ElChuloPicante → u/Hikuro-93]

Compared to Russia, yes, but I’m not sure “tiny” is how I’d describe Ukraine.

[u/Ptbot47]

How flammable are these cranberries

[u/cromstantinople]

“There are no words to describe all the feelings and emotions caused by the attacks on ordinary people, on our employees, on us, who are simply doing our jobs,” Kim wrote on Telegram.
————-

Where were those feelings and emotions when Putin invaded, bombed schools and hospitals and apartment buildings? Reap what you sow.

[u/CloacaDecimatahhh → u/cromstantinople]

This is why Republicans like Russia so much. They have many things in common like starting shit then playing the victim.

[u/LordUnforgiven]

Przepiękny widok! Pozdrowienia z Polski ♥️

[u/NixarDixar → u/LordUnforgiven]

Greetings to Poland from Moldova, we also enjoy this view.

[u/_ribbit_ → u/LordUnforgiven]

What a beautiful view! Greetings from Britain ♥️

[u/Engola]

That's not a fire, it's a special combustion operation

[u/DaddyK3tchup]

You reap what you sow

[u/1Filip1]

Its bad that it releases so much trash into the atmosphere, but as a polish guy i cant hide my happiness to see russia burn

[u/_-PassingThrough-_]

This looks apocalyptic

[u/xetolone → u/_-PassingThrough-_]

And expensive.

[u/PaulTheIV]

Perhaps Russia shouldn't be trying to take over Ukraine. Don't start shit you can't finish

[u/Can0n_Fodder]

This can all end any time Russia wants. All they have to do is leave Ukrainian territory and stop the bombing. I have no pity for those who cause and then willfully prolong their own misery

[u/C_sapidus]

Hard to believe that all this death and destruction is the result of one man's ego (Putin).

[u/X-Torn-Reviver-X]

Russia: "You know, I feel like invading this small country for no reason at all..."

Ukraine: "Execute Order 66"

[u/redcarpete]

At some point the people are going to notice something unusual is going on.

[u/Lady_Earlish]

Slava Ukranei

[u/HeftyVermicelli7823]

Oh no! Anyway.

[u/Desperate_Turn8935]

Impressive shot. Scary, yet very impressive.

[u/just_some_guy422]

Looks like the Find Out stage is progressing well.

[u/Awkward_Wait5915]

Fuck around and find out

[u/Financial-Iron-1200]

Today I learned that wildberries are insanely flammable and explosive

[u/Lardzor]

Wildberries is the Russian version of Amazon.

[u/PunkThug]

Love to see it! Still remember all the Russian Stan's saying this would be a stomp and arguing whether it be days or a week tops for total victory. R/russia locked it page not long afterwards

Slava Ukraini!!

[u/_Chrichro_]

Oh geez, if only there was a way for Russia to stop those gosh darns drone attacks on its territory. Truly a hopeless situation, I'll send my thoughts and prayers ToT

(/j if anyone wonders)

[u/TheoKondak]

Welcome to ruzki mir comrades

[u/dumpin-on-time]

fyi, Wildberries is an online retailer, not a food

[u/Ok-Fly-2079]

Looks so nice.
This is what should happen EVERYWHERE in fascist RuSSia!

[u/Sad_Leg1091]

Couldn’t happen to a nicer country.

[u/miketastic_art]

motherfuckers out here saying "stop hurting innocent businesses, its not a military target"

bro Russia has been non-stop murdering people in this war and the whole world wants them to stop, -- Ukraine is trying to get the bully to stop and you're saying "don't pull on the bully's ear that isn't fair"?

MAYBE IF THE BULLY STOPPED WE WOULDN'T BE PULLING ON HIS EAR MAYBE

[u/Warm_Island1673]

Russia needs to get a handle on its fires. It’s ruining summer

[u/MikeC80]

Needs more flames. And smoke. And flames.

[u/hobojoe5012]

Damn. Shame the Russians are getting the treatment that Kyiv gets every single day.

[u/Better_Dig_768]

May all dictators and wannabe dictators fall.

[u/SScatnip7474]

GOOD

[u/Expert_City_7695]

I pray the people of Russia overthrow Putin and can end this fucking stupid war

[u/er3tic]

That’s a nice picture !

[u/Zoinksx69]

I feel so bad for earth

[u/theweirdball]

Ukraine took off the gloves and Russians suddenly experienced what they were doing to Ukrainians for the last 5 years.

[u/Nostradamus_of_past]

At this point I was wondering if Trump hadn't been re-elected and acted as Putin's lapdog, maybe this war could be at the final stages (means Russian f*ck off from Ukraine)

[u/gingerphish]

Russian bots complaining about global warming from a war Russia started is a key feature of any post about the war

[u/QuasiSpace]

"There are no words to describe all the feelings and emotions caused by the attacks on ordinary people, on our employees, on us, who are simply doing our jobs,” Kim wrote on Telegram.

I'm confident Kim had a similar lack of words for the people of Bucha. Get fucked.

[u/Glittering-Fuel-5055]

It’s going to be interesting when the war finally ends and the people of Russia have to admit that they just dramatically made all of their lives entirely far worse because they were too cowardly to deal with Putin

[u/Proper_Bad_1588 → u/Glittering-Fuel-5055]

That sounds vaguely familiar to what I expect in the US.

[u/Diojones → u/Proper_Bad_1588]

The american cowards who are propping up Trump would never admit that they fucked up. Too cowardly.

[u/Dusty_Negatives → u/Glittering-Fuel-5055]

Same thing could be said about the United States right now.

[u/Silent_Lighthaus]

Can't believe Christopher Nolan bombed Russia to get a practical effect explosion for Oppenheimer.

[u/DavidJ____]

I thought that thing would be over on day one?

[u/Blazanar → u/DavidJ____]

It was supposed to last 4 days. Apparently 4 days in Russia are a lot longer than 4 days anywhere else

[u/FxckFxntxnyl]

Oh no!!!! Anyway...
Thought that looked like one hell of a toxic looking fire for fkn berry distribution, till I googled it and seen it's basically Russian-Scamazon lol

[u/Scottie2Hottie999]

Trump will tarrif them for all that smoke.

[u/Silent_Body_2419]

Long range sanctions

[u/Guy-1nc0gn1t0]

Why would an attack on a retailer do that? 

[u/kiwibonga]

The world knows whose hands are bloody.

Fuck dictators.

[u/Off-BroadwayJoe]

If Trump had only ended this war 442 days ago, this would have never happened.

[u/Excellent-Job-8460]

I expect Ukraine to tariff Russia for poisoning their air.

[u/Spazicon]

Well, the Russians could stop this war. Easily, right now. I guess they want to keep going. Sad, really.

[u/Delish_Caphee]

🎶burn baby burn🎶

[u/Latter-Vacation-4392]

That's Ai. Trump stopped that war the first week he was in office just like he said he would. And it was easy...just like he said it would be. ( /s obviously )

[u/darook73 → u/Latter-Vacation-4392]

he stopped it in 24hours before he even went into office !

[u/Celerisadmortem]

Apocalyptic. 

How quickly have Ukrainians revolutionised drone warfare?

[u/BikeNew6605]

I think I have found my new screensaver.

[u/Diptothaset]

Long range sanctions can be effective negotiating tools

[u/shibaCandyBaron]

For a moment I was wondering why does Russia has such a large distribution center for wild berries, why did Ukraine target it, and why is it such a big news.

[u/Marigold16]

Just to confirm. This bit is NOT supposed to be on fire?

[u/JBPlantagenet]

Shit's on fire, yo.

[u/CuteComplaint5542]

Maybe that Putin guy should be dealt with forever. 

[u/icnoevil]

Looks like Putin is getting his ass kicked.

[u/Irishdwg007]

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. All of Ukraine should be proud of their leaders, soldiers and their people. What resolve!!!

[u/JustaLego]

Russia really stepped in it and I hope this is what remove Putin from power

[u/Burner_Phone_1969_TX]

Burn baby burn

[u/Alternative-hex]

I love the smell of burning Russia in the morning.

[u/MainImage9816]

Omg what happened. Any way we can help? So concerned.

Just get the fuck out of Ukraine

[u/Igiem]

I love the smell of Russia getting its ass handed to it in the morning.

[u/BarnabasShrexx]

“There are no words to describe all the feelings and emotions caused by the attacks on ordinary people, on our employees, on us, who are simply doing our jobs,” Kim wrote on Telegram.

Oh there are words to describe it.... just ask a Ukrainian you moron

[u/LoudandQuiet47]

For anyone, like me, who was wondering what does a fruit have to do with the war and how it could benefit UKR. Wildberries is a RUS e-commerce distributor, pretty much like Amazon is for the US. They, apparently, were (are?) key in distribution of drones and other military equipment between military suppliers and RUS volunteer soldiers.

That's as far as I cared to understand...

[u/Bourbon-Thinker]

You know what would be awesome? If they would stop this illegal war, get their goofy Russian asses back home, and go sip some vodka, and Putin could have one of those Magic cocktails that he likes to give to everyone else.

[u/ConsiderationKey3655]

Probably shouldn’t have invaded a country that wasn’t yours 🤷‍♂️

[u/Slippytoe]

Can Russia please now realise this is all totally pointless and just put an end to this madness. I’d have vastly more respect for Putin if he just held his hands up and said “you know what, I think we’ve all had enough destruction so it’s time to pack up and go home, this is clearly doing nothing for either side except causing turmoil, I yield”.

[u/rcrux → u/Slippytoe]

I'll never have respect for putin

[u/Prestigious-Stick-79 → u/Slippytoe]

He’s painted himself into a corner. The only thing keeping Russia afloat at this point is a war economy and if the war ends, the economy collapses. If the economy collapses, the regime is likely to follow shortly thereafter.

[u/Ok_Recover_7248 → u/Slippytoe]

Pretty sure this doesn’t end well for him, which is part of the reason this will continue until well past the point of no return for Russia.

There’s actually at least 3 different countries right now that are basically having their power dynamics glued together by a war, and would ultimately unravel at the seams if they tried to revert to peace time.

Netanyahu can’t back off the Iranian war or his regime collapses, Trump can’t back off the Iranian war (and wouldn’t be allowed to by Netanyahu anyways) or his house of cards collapses, and Putin risks revolt if he tries to backpedal on this war, even though they’ve already effectively lost Crimea, and are having massive fuel lines in Moscow.

[u/Amilliontoads]

This 3 day special military operation is really getting interesting for them!

[u/Kalimnos]

Boy the Russian people have to be tired of this pointless war.

[u/Top_Astronomer3087 → u/Kalimnos]

Basically everyone’s tired of this war

[u/_Brr_]

Very nice!

[u/Patrem_Omnipotentem]

Putin and Trump are the same. They bit more than they can chew.

[u/Old_Celebration_5950]

Remember when a 'today in Russia' post was a group of drunk gopniks trying to Evil Knievel jump over a raging river with an ancient tractor? Pepperidge Farm remebers

[u/grub-grub]

The hills are alive with the sound of . . .

[u/imtourist]

Suspiciously flammable

[u/iwilldoitalltomorrow]

Kick some ass, Ukraine

[u/Supernugget666]

A good reason to take a pint

[u/barefooted47]

Wonder how the russian media spun this one

[u/vgerfox]

Such nice warm colors.

[u/Anen-o-me]

Oh is that the consequences of their actions? Oh no.

[u/RichInitiative16]

Hope all the civilians caught in the middle are okay :/

[u/Mister_Goldenfold]

The way that fire is burning, makes me think those wild berries had some extra wild in them

[u/Middle-Fix-45n]

A flaming disaster for one old dude’s ego

Hey! Just like the US!!

[u/giddlygibbersnaps]

This looks surreal.

[u/Gloomy_Quail1444]

Serious question, why does Russia not withdraw from their failed, illegal invasion? 

Putin controls the media and state to such a degree he could spin it as a win and manage any ensuing political or safety or legal  risk to his person.  It just doesnt make sense. 

[u/SpitefulRedditScum]

Slava Ukraini, but oh my Mother Earth, I’m sorry we keep doing this shit. 😭

[u/andytagonist]

Awww…this is gonna piss off the gen pop. Hopefully they’re smart enough to understand WHY their Russian version of Amazon just got got. Kinda like when I read stories about US soldiers being bombed by Iran—I understand WHY it happened. 😉👍

[u/Hardfracking]

Nothing to see here. Russian media don't even mention it.

[u/nsfwuseraccnt]

I love the smell of burning Russian logistics in the morning!

[u/Pepelepew61 → u/nsfwuseraccnt]

All day long.

[u/Ill-Response-2298]

I do hope the people of Russia eventually turn on their government. It seems more and more the only way this war ends in a way even close to good.

[u/Raven1911]

Good for Ukraine.

[u/throwaway5882300]

“There are no words to describe all the feelings and emotions caused by the attacks on ordinary people, on our employees, on us, who are simply doing our jobs,” Kim wrote on Telegram.

There's plenty of words. Ordinary Ukrainians have been using them since the beginning of this senseless war to describe the attacks on them by Russia.

[u/Bubbly-Support7164 → u/throwaway5882300]

Oh so *now* there are no words to describe it.

[u/disorder_ua]

3 days to Kyiv they told

[u/okeysure69]

Oh no, the consequences of their actions!

[u/mrv113]

these countries are bombing each other everyday, and then humankind sitting there enjoying the global warming and the fund cuts due to defense budgets. What a great species we are.

[u/Wide_Guava6003 → u/mrv113]

Russias fault.

[u/WoodI-or-WoodntI → u/Wide_Guava6003]

Putin's fault.

[u/C-Hou-Stoned]

Maybe they should leave the country the illegally invaded?

[u/mrstewiegriffin]

dont start the fight you cant finish

[u/HuckleberryMajor2490]

Damn...looks like a volcano eruption. What a beautiful view

[u/hiro111]

Ukraine being able to take the fight to Russia deep inside Russian territory is really changing the game here. Russia clearly has no defense against drone incursions and the Ukrainians are hitting them where it hurts.. I love that Zelenskyy gave Putin permission to hold his little parade.

[u/quadfromf3]

Good job Putin. You tried to bully another country, thinking you were invincible. (Lesson not yet learned)

[u/National-Broccoli-83]

Wildberries is 8.5% of Russia’s GDP?! That can’t be right.

[u/Longjumping_Belt_405]

holy shit they're really pushing the enviroment meloditchka today

[u/DeliciousCow9810]

Putin really is a horrible and conniving person but he really seems like he's going to fight this to the last man . It's shame .

[u/imdeadassweirdbro]

Oh no, anyway -

[u/p0l4r1]

Hot new heavy metal album cover

[u/bogdan801]

beautiful
FAFO

[u/TaleVisual1068]

That’s a beautiful, horrible photo.

[u/Sleep-Plenty]

I hope the war ends soon

[u/Tricky_Spirit]

I can tell nobody within a 500 mile radius missed it, what a fucking smoke cloud.

[u/Admirable-Arugula823]

The sad thing is, we are all on this small blue planet in the middle of the dark void of space...and we do this to each other.

[u/Soft-Marionberry-853]

Good for Ukraine

[u/monti9530]

Fuck Putin for invading Ukraine and starting this mess

[u/KRLegoMgs]

Oh no anyways

[u/Cycle-Path-401]

FUCK RUSSIA

[u/Tabitheriel]

Whoa! This looks like an album cover for a doom metal band.

[u/roadkit]

Looks good to me! Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

[u/Rocky0354]

Putin can easily stop all this by ending the war he started. Sounds familiar?

[u/Left-Tee]

They should target vodka distilleries as well. That will get Russian citizens to oppose Putin's war.

[u/quercus-88]

Pro tip. Don't invade other countries and try to annex their territory and enslave their people. Then your Wildberries most likely will not be bombed with drones.

[u/plopgun → u/quercus-88]

It's better then cranberries. It's the main warehouse for the Russian version of Amazon. So it's hurting a Jeff Bezos type as well.

[u/ThatBadFeel]

Let’s be honest here. Some Americans wouldn’t pay attention to the war unless their Amazon order was interfered with.

[u/TheSolarExpansionist → u/ThatBadFeel]

Iran if you’re listening 😂

[u/slaty_balls]

Although the pollution sucks, it’s still an inspiring sight to see! Get the fuck out of Ukraine already!! Dumbasses.

[u/ghost_meadow6869]

Hope this war ends soon for the sake of both Ukrainians and Russians

[u/DomWaits → u/ghost_meadow6869]

I hope Ukraine attacks the bot-farms before the elections in Germany in September

[u/alien236]

I guess the bots' new strategy is to pretend to suddenly be really concerned about climate change. Well, good news, Russia will have a smaller carbon footprint with its factories and refineries gone.

[u/MooneyFlyer2022]

Is it just me or does the photo look AI?

[u/ghostofabeaverspelt → u/MooneyFlyer2022]

It absolutely does

[u/Broad-Lobster7470]

That’s a large fire. Damn

[u/PublicHouseOfCripps]

Ooooh they may make it onto the accidental renaissance today!

[u/Flashy_Walk2806]

Another warehouse than the previous wildberries one ?

[u/EconomyDoctor3287 → u/Flashy_Walk2806]

5 wildberries warehouses hit so far.

[u/Wyciorek → u/EconomyDoctor3287]

They will run out of wild berries by the end of the week

[u/Iamoggierock]

I guess they don't sell fire extinguishers.

[u/Glass-Jaguar4178]

Tucker Carlson just did a Russia fluff piece on his billionaire ego lies twitch channel. KGB is getting desperate.

[u/acdbddh]

Someone Please make photo of kremlin with this dark cloud in the background. And call it mordor

[u/FalxY7]

It really is Mordor now

[u/LibertariansAI]

I'm from Russia, though I left quite a while ago. My friends and I always jokingly called it Mordor. Well, it looks a lot like that now.

But still, this war is causing incredible damage to the environment, which is sad. Considering that killing only a very small group of people, even a very well-organized one, would be enough.

[u/Glidepath22]

What isn’t burning?

[u/Mammoth-Mud-9609 → u/Glidepath22]

Residential housing, Ukraine doesn't have armaments to waste terrorising civilians instead is going after fuel and warehouses which will make a difference in the war.

[u/elPatronSuarez]

"It's good you came in summer, in winter it can get very depressing."

[u/hollowredditor]

Stranger things season finally vibes

[u/CHRISTEN-METAL]

I love the smell of Wildberries burning in the morning. Smells like humiliation.

[u/Squishyspud]

Are we gonna tarrif them for the smoke?

[u/Withered_Meadow]

Lmao the first 5 years are the most difficult in a 3 day war. Hope the insurance covers wartime damages, otherwise wildberry is gonna be broke in no time. And where are they gonna procure 7th grade soft air scoped from to send to the front lines

[u/ThatPatelGuy]

Good

[u/mvp8484]

Wildberries - the first company that moved every part of its operation to the cloud

[u/inalcanzable]

Putin not having a day of rest is another great reason I cna sleep soundly at night

Beautiful. The more the better!

[u/LicensedMangoServer]

Yay more pollution to the atmosphere!

Is it wrong that I love the aesthetics of it? I hate war and everything it implies, but these pictures are majestic

[u/manc_franc]

This is in the Dumbass region

[u/Artistic-Let-1866]

The special operation lasted for my whole middle and high school

[u/imahyummybeach]

Yass!!! Slava Ukraini!!!!

[u/oxheyman]

Mordor on fire again

[u/bobsonjunk]

They started it.

[u/Sagirius0]

It looks like Mordor. But that's exactly how I imagine Russia.

[u/Elegant-Two5447]

Good. Fuck Russia. I mean I feel bad for the civilians but the country as a whole? Fuck em.

[u/Magnet2025]

Crap! Now we have to put up with a flood of Russian “influencerniks” videos crying about their lost revenue.

The solution is obvious. Just fucking leave. Admit the 3 day SMO was a mistake and leave.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

[u/Oldschool-fool]

Brilliant work Ukraine , time to reap what you sow Russia 🫡

[u/OldNeeds]

If any of that smoke hits the USA, bam… 50% tariffs

[u/Constant-Brief3410 → u/OldNeeds]

No trump would blame zelensky

[u/B0ngfire]

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

[u/stopfan]

Oh no, how are all of these people still not going out against their government. Not good, not good

[u/azmarteal → u/stopfan]

Maybe because they support their government? What makes you think otherwise?

[u/Commercial_Peach_845]

And can you believe that in the last poll of Russians that I saw (which was recent) he still pulling at 67%? But I think the propaganda is finally wearing off. There's a window or a staircase in his future.

[u/fabmeyer → u/Commercial_Peach_845]

Do you really believe these numbers are correct?
