ah yes of course, it's always standard procedure to declare martial law in regions that defiantly and without a doubt wanted to join you. just you know, what you're supposed to do in the land that wants to join you

[jaysonp]

You can't declare marital law in a territory that isn't yours 🤷‍♀️

[kimhansen]

So are we still in 'Special military operation' mode? Seems like the operation keeps expanding into Ruzzia all the time - Pretty much for what was originally a 3-day excercise...

How do you declare martial law in a war zone ?
I'm lost....

[stephensuddick]

I'm confused. Don't you have to have martial capability to enforce martial law?

[rclines]

How do you declare martial law in land you don't own?

[rezzonater]

That didn't take long.
Welcome to Russia.

Putin was once the most badass man alive. Now he's just a clown.

No matter how much western media was accusing him, he still winning 😮

If there was as reported a huge favorable vote in these provinces to become part of Russia, why is martial law required? just asking

[LeeACDC]

At this point they need to negotiate. Civilians lives are at stake, those are the ones who are really paying the price for this.

How can he impose martial law on foreign lands? He's gone completely mad

[Missmusicdiva]

😡I'm so sick of this demon. 🛑 May God remove that wicked beast. 👌💯🙏👀

[DownriverRocks]

AND. THERE YOU GO, welcome to Russia.

[Cryptl]

Wouldn't that be "Special Military law"?

The British thought the same thing. When it came to George Washington. But it did not work out for them.

[debpearce]

Is "illegally annexed" the media buzz word of the day?

[DMTEntity]

This is a human problem.. we all need advocate for peace, Ukrainian, American Russian whatever you are, we need peace for the world, or else we will all die in a nuclear Armageddon…. Speak up your voice matters get a group and protest against us sending money to Ukraine!! We the people have the right to over-throw a corrupt government if not we will all regret not doing something….

[mattt]

How is this possible? CNN and msnbc told me Putin ran away.

[richardphillips]

The question is will anybody follow them rules. That's the real question.
