In simple terms what does Martial Law mean? I'm reading that from tomorrow this will kick into place and basically Putin will have control over all decisions? If anyone protests against the invasion they will be forced to fight in the invasion? Is this right? Anything else?

Who helped Zelensky into power? Igor Kolomoisky. 'The documents show that Zelensky and his partners in a television production company, Kvartal 95, set up a network of offshore firms dating back to at least 2012, the year the company began making regular content for TV stations owned by Ihor Kolomoisky, an oligarch dogged by allegations of multi-billion-dollar fraud. The offshores were also used by Zelensky associates to purchase and own three prime properties in the center of London...' '...Zelensky capitalized on widespread public anger at corruption, but his 2019 campaign was dogged by doubts over his anti-graft bona fides, given that his campaign was boosted by media belonging to Kolomoisky — who is accused of stealing US$5.5 billion from his own bank and funneling it offshore in concert with his partner, Hennadiy Boholiubov...'

Beneath it said “Zhidobandera” – an amalgamation of a Russian-Ukrainian word for Jews, normally regarded as derogatory, and the name of Stepan Bandera, the most controversial figure in Ukraine’s history. Bandera was the leader of the Ukrainian national movement, resisting Soviet rule, before and during World War II.

I actually feel bad for the average Russian people. They’re the ones taking the brunt of most of these sanctions. Hardly a big hit for the Oligarchs getting their 3rd holiday home in Lake Como seized is it.

But people like you downgrade the argument. Are you really that thick? Don't put words in my mouth. Are you really that thick you can't see the bigger picture and how the meddling by the likes of Victoria Nuland and Igor Kolomoisky, NATO expansion, 2014 coup and "war crimes" committed since by the likes of the neo-nazi militias have played a huge part in the crisis? There is a reason 25 civil society organizations made a joint statement at the time opposing the Senate’s confirmation of Victoria Nuland for the position of undersecretary of state for political affairs in Biden's administration. As an aside Nuland's neocon husband Robert Kagan just happens to be the co-founder of The Project for a New American Century. consortiumnews.com/2021/01/10/25-organizations-say-victoria-should-be-rejected/The award winning investigative journalist Robert Parry covered the Nuland involvement well with his 2015 article provided below - 'The Mess that Nuland Made'. Parry is known for covering the Iran-Contra affair for the Associated Press and Newsweek, including breaking the story that the CIA had provided an assassination manual to the Nicaraguan Contras and the CIA involvement in Contra cocaine trafficking.

What part of a sovereign country's decision to join a military alliance of its choice constitutes justification for another country to invade it is and kill it's people?
The "coup" as you call it in 2014 appears to be widely supported by the Ukranians.
What war crimes have been committed by Ukranians since 2014?
