Hardly this could be a start of WWIII. There was similar attacks on other arsenals earlier, f.e. in Voronezh oblast or Rostov-on-Don, but just like in previous cases this one does not have any significant influence on the battlefield. Also, only part of arsenal was destroyed, yesterday Maxxar published satellite images, most part of it survived - https://t.me/intelslava/66746.
Even if all that storage was destroyed, that will not change anything. It is reserves, not source of battlefield supply.
This mosquito bites are overhyped in Western MSM to the level of WWIII start events is more wishful thinking than something real. At the same time, destruction of western arsenals in "ukraine" that happens nearly every day, routenely, somehow stays completely out of their scope. Just yesterday at least two storage facilities was blown up in Kharkov and Sumy, along with destruction of communications headquaters of AFU. But Western MSM don't bother to even mention that.
If you need WWIII start events, better take a look at attempts to hit Russian NPPs in Kursk and Zaporozhye. Or that attempt to damage ICBM radar station or nuclear bombers airfields. This what could theoretically cause WWIII if succeed, but not neccesarily.
That "red lines" narrative is totally Western construct. We don't have that "red line" thing at all. "Red line" thing, in its core comes from overpopulated Europe, where feudals teared each other throats for additional field or village and thoroughly watch for their feuds borders.
Russians don't have that habit, we operate in completely another mode. There is even proverb - "Russian will not cross itself until thunder crush". It's not in our habit to draw lines for others and closely watch for them constantly if anybody cross them. We do something only if something happen, and only then assess reaction. But this does not mean we don't have multiple plans for possible problems and this does not mean we don't care. "Lay straw beforehand", "Prepare sleigh in summer and cart in winter", something like that. We don't have any "red lines" all of them are invented by Western politicians and MSM, we just react on the go if something happen.
I think this "red line" shit is used to create an illusion that Russia is inept, like "look we crossed their red line and they did not immidiately nuke us!". There are no red lines. There is actions and retaliation. And retaliation does not necessary exactly what West made up in their delusions.
Add to this that Russia is very bureaucratic state. For each action, somewhere some bureaucrat write a paper, where everything is documented - locations, perpetuator names, financial figures, etc., and put in corresponding file. Then, after some time, this page from file will be opened by some other bureaucrat who will have to do something about it. Many years could pass and nobody knows how exactly this action will be retaliated. But there is a paper in a file waiting for its time. From the outside it could look completely insane, but that's work in the long term. Say, decade later, say Finland will have to restore normal relations with Russia to fix their economy. And suddenly that file with that paper about launch of "ukrainian" drone from Finland will pop up. And Finland will have to do whatever we say to resolve that old issue - from extradition of all who participated in that shit for trial in Russia to some unpleasant concessions in future relations.
There was something markedly different about this one. but I would judge it pointless to discuss it with anyone who makes such a tremendously convincing case for themselves.

Well, the only difference I see is that bueaucrat who was responsible for building Toropets storage was arrested and jailed long before the strike for stealing taxpayer money and receiving bribes.
Hardly this could mark the start of WWIII.
At the same time I could imagine that Western elites who live in their own world truly secretly believe that WWIII already started and they head their imaginery battles. But that doesn't mean it really so. Most dangerous part of this delusion is that they could do some shit for real.
Whenever I tell people to believe whatever they want, that's rarely good enough for them. I came to realize they're not attempting to communicate with other people, but simply talking to themselves. I find this a clear mark of a certain type of human consciousness.
And when I point this point they never "get it", which is another clear mark.
