And next comes the emergency UN meeting. Oh noes! Oh noes! Don't bite on this poor quality bait, Mr. President.

So an isolated hostile maritime incident requires a somewhat free people to suddenly find themselves militarily occupied by themselves? Mmmmkay.

It’s the first time Putinist Russia has committed an act of war against Ukraine without hiding behind the “green men” plausible deniability ruse. Major escalation here. I expect Bolton and POTUS will drop the hammer on KGB Vlad.

Martial law allows poroshenko to suspend the elections that he is expected to lose in about 4 months. That’s the problem with coming to power in a coup. You can only remain in power through chicanery. Otherwise you wouldn’t have needed the coup to gain power in the first place.

The Western world is coming apart at the seams. Riots in France, riots at our Southern border, and Russia is capturing ships from another country.
It feels like things are building to an explosive crescendo that won’t turn out well. I hope I’m wrong.

Well, I have one of those bottles of iodine pills in case of nuclear bombs. So I’m cool, the rest of you might be in trouble though.

I hope we stay out of it!
Ukraine made its decision on it sovereignty when it gave up nuclear weapons for US & UK guarantees. Can anyone seriously maintain the US &UK will go to war with Russia over Ukraine independence?

Setup, related to the internal Ukrainian affairs.
Presidential elections in spring, Poroshenko's popularity is south of 10%, not being reelected would mean not just loss of power but of personal property.
Reelection chances are next to nil, especially after recent hikes of gas and energy prices.
With martial law elections can be postponed, and -- if needed -- competition can be arrested.

Yeah lol
I thought Martial Law was enacted when YOUR own people were causing mischief and mayhem.
Not sure how this will affect the Russian navy.

So the evil Russians "force" Porkyshanker to declare martial law.
Porky is dead last in all the polls so who thinks the elections will be postponed until the "crisis" is past?
