Putin's New Legislation Raises Specter of Martial Law in Russia
Newsweek ^ | 8/10/23 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 08/14/2023 2:52:57 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Russian President Vladimir Putin has submitted a draft law that would end the requirement for Russia to notify the Council of Europe when it declares or lifts martial law.

Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, there has been speculation about whether Putin would put Russia on a full war footing, including a declaration of martial law and full mobilization.

Russia had to notify the Secretary General of Europe's 46-member human rights organization, as well as the United Nations, if it intended to declare a state of emergency, which would restrict the rights of its citizens.

It’s funny how the war whores are always worried about Russia while our own country turns into literal crap.

We’re always going to have enemies no matter where we go in life this side of Eternity.

That's because the U.S. is always sticking its grimy nose into other countries' affairs.

So, Russia invading Ukraine and meddling with it for centuries doesn’t qualify for “sticking its grimy nose into other countries’ affairs”?

Wouldn't have happened had NATO not reneged on border encroachments and Obama starting a color revolution in 2014.

and meddling with it for centuries doesn’t qualify for “sticking its grimy nose into other countries’ affairs”?

What do you mean "meddling?" Ukraine has always been historically a part of Russia since the Middle Ages. Crimea and the Western half of Ukraine has always identified with Russia until Ukraine (again, the puppet government installed by Obama) started harassing the ethnic Russians.

Ukraine has it’s own language, national identity, and they are not genetically Russian.

Kiev was a city before Russia ever was.

You need to go back further than 2014.

Why leave when Putin is coming here? It should be a cakewalk.

Ukraine has it’s own language, national identity, and they are not genetically Russian.

Texas, New England states, and Southern states all have their own dialects, identity, and state/regional pride. This is no different. Ukraine has been a part of Russia for centuries.

Kiev was a city before Russia ever was.

So? You need to go back further than 2014.

Sure, let's go back to the early 1990s, when NATO promised Russia it wouldn't encroach on its borders or add to its alliance.

You and the other pro-Ukrainian trolls obviously have some type of financial stake in getting into a hot war with Russia, who has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

We have homeless veterans sleeping on the streets and black criminal thugs terrorizing everyone. Why don't you clowns worry about this country for a change and leave Russia alone?

“I’ll take Putin’s martial law when compared to the current cesspool we are living in.”

So, all your bags are packed and you’re ready to go? You are on record expressing your desire to live in Russia over wherever your current home is. Is it Ireland (you show the flag of Ireland on your profile page)?

Please post a link to the ratified treaty or signed agreement that made such a promise.
