Fuck Russia.

I love seeing Iran burn Amazon buildings and Ukraine burn Wildberries buildings.

Every war is awfull, but seing Iran starting to bomb datacenters was pretty satisfying.

I hope more countries will learn to target stuff like multi-billion-dollar warehouses and datacenters, rather than schools and residental block.

You'd get way more fast and intense reaction from almost any goverment if you started hitting all of their billionaires capital.

This is a logistics and distribution hub… for berries? Or that’s just the company name?

Thanks. That’s kind of what I figured but I was too lazy to look it up. I’m also surprised a Russian company that size uses a western name.

Edit: oh they operate in a bunch of places. So that makes sense.

"Wildberries confirmed that operations at both locations had been halted."

Unless berries as a whole became sentient and learned how to speak, I'd venture it's your latter hypothesis that would be right.

Note I said just the name? It’s clearly the name, but what do they distribute?

Boo berries cereal

I think they are a general logistics and distribution company. A cursory search had many news about these attacks describing them as "Russian Amazon".
