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.

Still no definition? Please take your empty slogan and peddle it to some empty headed Republicans. They’re as clueless as you. Now beat it and remember; you got everything about Zelenskyy wrong 🤣

“Still no definition? Please take your empty slogan and peddle it to some empty headed Republicans. They’re as clueless as you. Now beat it and remember; you got everything about Zelenskyy wrong 🤣”

The phrase is self-defining, and self-explanatory; which — had you progressed beyond the romper room stage — you would understand.

What did I get wrong about Zelensky? I have never praised him, nor lauded him in any way (other than giving him credit for not running away from the fight, as many — especially on your side — wanted and expected him to do); nor have I really said much of anything about him. However, I have many times said I applaud Ukraine for fighting to defend itself, IN SPITE OF who its president is. So, please link to my comments or posts that support your claim that I got “everything about Zelenskyy wrong.” Well, unless you think it is wrong for a national leader to NOT flee when adversity comes a-calling.

Come on, blowhard: Give us the links.

You were among the very first to call Zelenskyy the Ukrainian Winston Churchill. How dopey do you feel now knowing he’s a thief who lost the war?

Nice try, kid. It was your buddy JonPreston who promised to post the non-existent rule that if you comment about another FReeper, you have to include that FReeper in the address bar.

That rule, of course, is not a FR rule; but rather, a rule created by you guys; and you’ve been violating it. So, whenever you post a comment that refers to me, it is the same as you posting it TO me. And I can reply to you directly.

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

Bye.

It's amazing that some people on this site are A-OK with the leader of their party getting arrested by the illegitimate ruling junta - as long as Da Meatball's interests are served...

Paul Ryan and Mitch are doing a slow golf clap.

For me, Trump’s most redeeming value is that he has cracked open the political system, exposing not only the Uniparty, but also all of these Cesspool Cheerleaders who discuss politics thru the filter of tNR and Fox news. Small, hollow men incapable of challenging the hammer blows that will be coming our way shortly. I always thought this Republican resistance was a joke and now it’s playing out that way right before our eyes. The remedies the few, decent Republicans suggest send shivers thru the pearl clutchers.

Apparatchik Has no bottom to his depravity. He is all in for Zelensky financing his war with porn and the sex trade.

Look at you high-minded, self-appointed guardians of Ukraine’s moral character!

You’re all okey-dokey with invading Russian soldiers indiscriminately killing civilians and raping and torturing men, women, and children. But you clutch your pearls at the thought that a copy of Playboy might fall into hands of a Ukrainian adult under the same laws as in the US and in your beloved Russia.

You make me laugh, fools.

Translation: “I am a degenerate who backs the sexual exploitation of women, girls and boys by selling them to the perverted predators of the world for my hero Zelensky.”

You are one sick puppy.

Maybe you have plans to order your own Ukrainian slave/war bride and to giggle with joy that your money is going to help defer those evil RuZZZZZZZZians?

Sorry, you’re barking up the wrong tree, Skippy. I don’t persist in arguing with unhinged trolls. I have a life. Try again later.

Trying to seize the moral high ground are you? Are you trying to make me the problem for pointing out your own despicable views? How soon you forget this little comment from a long, long, ago time period called - TODAY:

"Wouldn’t this simply put Ukrainian law more in line with norms in the rest of the Western world, leaving a group countries that include Iran, North Korea, Belarus, Saudi Arabia and the entire Muslim world?"
