Russia about to declare martial law?

[Frankfooter]

This is the latest, after declaring yesterday that no Russian can leave the country with more than $10,000 they may declare martial law.
Likely its to try to control the media, which has been showing Russians that they are actually in a war and killing and destroying Ukraine.

The Russian Federation Council is set to hold an unscheduled meeting on Friday, leading to widespread speculation in Moscow that the country might impose martial law.

The introduction of martial law would give the authorities sweeping powers to limit freedom of movement and freedom of speech. Martial law has been introduced in modern Russia.


Tatyana Stanovaya, a prominent Russian political analyst and founder of R.Politik on Wednesday evening tweeted that introducing a martial law would be a “logical scenario.”


“The proclamation of martial law will allow the authorities to introduce military censorship, to increase the secrecy of the state’s activities and the actions of local bodies.”

It’s being taken care of. Russian authorities slowed down the Twitter and they are dealing with other sources.
They also criminalize “fake news” about their “special operation”. Up to 15 years jail. So there you go. They put people in jail for reposting even before the war.

Okay, I'm emailing that judge and telling her that Tamara Lich and Pat King get out on bail, if they organize a Freedom Konvoy to Moscow.

After all, they hate "tyranny" so very much!

Just don't give them the stingers!
200 from the US, 500 from Germany headed there.

The package also includes Javelin anti-tank missiles and ammunition, both of which the Ukrainian government has said they need to fight off advancing Russian military.

Stinger missiles can be used to shoot down aircraft. During the Cold War, the U.S. government secretly supplied Afghan resistance fighters with stingers to shoot down Russian helicopters over Afghanistan.

Germany announced last weekend that they are sending 500 stinger missiles to Ukraine, as well.
