Return the favor directly on top of the Kremlin
On a residential area.
Prior to the onset of war, Orikhiv, in the southern Zaporizhzhia Oblast had a population of a little under 14,000.
I would guess they chose that target because any larger city's air defense systems would have shot the Bomb down before impact.
Another day, another war crime, with a civilian area bombed, and no consequences for the aggressor once again. Was it the US or Israel mass murdering civilians today? Nope, it was Russia's turn. Still, it's only early in the week ...
Just bomb me next. Fuck it
I case anyone is also wondering that bombs measured in tons of explosives sounds pretty close to nuclear, where I vaguely remembered the number 15 tons - in case of nuclear weapons, it was kilotons, so thousand times as much.
While the MOAB is the largest conventional bomb used by the U.S., Russia tested the "Father of All Bombs" (FOAB) in 2007, which is claimed to have a blast yield four times greater than the MOAB, though specifications are disputed.
One of those in the center of the Kremlin would be great.
I’d settle for a cherry bomb in putins colon
Interesting that this is posted around the same time that I saw a post about Israel dropping big new bombs on Gaza.
Which world cup match is happening during this time?
Hold up, there's a World Cup??

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
