I wonder if we would act the same way as the russians? Not caring until our shopping options are limited, that is.

It's a brilliant strategy by Ukraine, and imo it exposes a potential hole in our own "defense" (civilian resilience) in a Europe with superstorage facilities everywhere.

Here's the updated WB Bingo card!
Ukraine has destroyed around 1/3 of the entire storage space.

And a small additional bonus, a lot more fuel is used by fire trucks and lorries moving remaining/new goods to other storage areas, further away from where needed.

By a happy coincidence one of my frankenservers turns out to be a chassis and motherboard pairing that occurred in real life, which was a nice surprise.
