The Musings of the Big Red Car

Medieval Times and Thermobaric Bombs

I woke early this morning after a good night’s sleep and the first thing that hit me was that in Ukraine nobody got a good rest last night because Russia and Putin are bombing modern cities with horrific weapons including artillery, precision missiles, and thermobaric bombs.

Russian multi-tube missile delivery system for thermobaric bombs.

Thermobaric bombs

If you are not up to speed on thermobaric bombs, allow me to give you a primer.

 1. Thermobaric bombs are also called vacuum bombs as they create a vacuum that sucks up all the oxygen while producing a massive blast wave, a hellacious fireball, and a mushroom cloud.

 2. A thermobaric bomb is delivered using a precise missile that can be programmed to hit a specific location guided by advanced location technology — think global positioning tech that can target your left nostril.

They do not arrive in a civilian area of a modern city by accident. They are precisely targeted and unleashed by men, evil men.

 3. The bomb — a two stage explosive — arrives as a missile that releases a fine atomized spray of explosive material creating an explosive cloud.

 4. A second explosion sets off the cloud resulting in a missive blast that will literally vaporize a human body. The largest Russian thermobaric weapons have a blast radius of 300 meters and will destroy everything inside that radius.

 5. The explosion delivers a huge shock wave, a fireball, and consumes all the available oxygen. The explosive shock wave is much longer lasting than a conventional bomb.

Russia possesses thermobaric weapons they call the “Father of All Bombs” that are the equivalent of 44 tons of conventional explosive.

The Russian Father of All Bombs is the largest non-nuclear explosive device in the world.

Oh, come on, Big Red Car, nobody is that barbaric

Actually, dear and faithful reader, they are.

The Russians have been using them in the Donbas Region of Ukraine for years and used them in Chechnya.

The Russians apparently used one already in Kharkiv.

In Russian doctrine they are deployed when there is a strong defensive position confronting advancing Russian troops.

The Russians use thermobaric bombs to kill women, children, innocent bystanders, and soldiers. They use them to destroy buildings and to start fires.

Bottom line it, Big Red Car

Ukraine has frustrated evil Russian intentions for a week — twice as long as the Russians anticipated resistance would continue. Bravo, Ukraine!

Putin just warned persons living in Khiv, a modern city of 3,000,000 people, to get out of town as he is going to escalate the attack on this modern city, the capital of Ukraine.

He is a man who has leveled cities and engaged in the most appalling crimes against humanity by indiscriminately bombing cities and killing massive numbers of children, women, and innocent civilians.

If you doubt me, research the leveling of Grozny in the Second Chechen War. That’s an eye opener. Putin has been a murderous bastard for decades.

So, here we sit in 2022, in a world in which we can enjoy a latte on every corner, in which the Internet expands our reach literally worldwide, but in Ukraine a Russian dictator is laying siege to the nation’s capital with tanks, artillery, missiles, and thermobaric bombs killing children, women, and innocent bystanders. God damn that man.

We live in medieval times and it is far beyond the “sell by” date for the world to return Russia and its maniacal leader to the Stone Age. It is time to disconnect them from the civilized world as they are not a civilized nation. We can start with crushing sanctions, but we better hurry.

God bless and save Ukraine!
