More proof that Mother Nature hates Moskali.
What, no fire breaks around an ammo storage facility? Sorry boss, we drank the fire break budget.
The managers built dachas nalyevo.
An incident like this does not surprise me. That a Ukrainian dump went up, was surprising. I’m still convinced the Ukrainian dump explosion was the result of sabotage.
Well done, Ukraine.
Fight fire with fire. An eye for an eye. Revenge is sweet.
The Ukrainian one was putinazi sabotage; no question. This one is likely down to putinazi recklessness and stupidity. It was roosky trash that led to the biggest non-nuclear explosion in history: in Beirut.
