Not really a fun fact.

True

Well yeah, Israel lost literally nothing and destroyed like half of Gaza, what a horrible defeat.

Can't you just copy it as normal when holding alt or control (can't remember)? There is an option in firefox about:config to ignore what sites want and re-enable copy.

Yeah! Lets pretend that we have some idea what's going to happen with fucking eCoNOmY in 50 years when there is high probability of new world war in the next 5. Better act concerned fast! Spare me with your good citizen bullying mate.

Really concerned about years 2070-2090 and economic growth.

They are fine, probably, try to look closer, maybe you will find some interesting details on them!

Call arnold schwarzengger, he might have some idea or plan or concept of a plan on how to deal with predators.

I sincerely doubt that you don't follow "bad" laws. Dictatorial powers are granted as part of emergency, with conditions that must be met. Conditions that were explained earlier, again, you can't ignore laws like your country constitution (if there is one) unless the next step planned is dissolution of your nation.

My personal opinion on granting or not granting whatever powers are irrelevant. That's how laws work.

Your claims of there being a lack of democracy weren't explained, enlighten me. I can't understand your position on elections because you have a very warped idea what war means. At best there are multiple air raid alerts in every big city, at best every day hundreds of people are being either killed or being injured. Every industry is either completely destroyed or partially destroyed, absolute majority of critical infrastructure objects are at least partially destroyed. At least a million people are in armed forces with more than a half being on the front lines, they can't drop everything and go vote. Ballistic missile can arrive in 1-2 minutes after being detected, some can in less then a 1, and public events are usual r*ssian targets, you don't want your election start with multiple places being struck with ballistic missisles with cluster munition. Can you explain how to hold elections in this situation, the logistics of the operation and a purpose?

You do understand law as a concept? Especially constitution as a basic law that can't be violated unless every other law becomes invalid?

As for not being particularly democratic that's either extremely uninformed or completely detached view. I would love to hear what is not particularly democratic about ukrainian state.

As for president and safety council being autocratic, and holding dictatorial power, that is the whole point of martial law and any kind of emergency powers that granted to elected or not elected officials during emergency.

1. War is not confined to eastern regions, it never was, even in 2014.
2. Elections and freedom of speech, also freedom of movement, freedom of association and a lot of other freedoms are suspended for the duration of martial law being in effect, that's part of the law. Changes to constitution, referendums, strikes are prohibited as well. Law #389-vii (may 12, 2015) itself is powered by Constitution (article 64 part 2 mentions what freedoms can't be suspended during martial law). All previous iterations of the law starting from 2000, I think, have +- same conditions and change mostly in wording.
3. Civil war was civil as in not against outside threat and it wasn't an existential threat. Stated r*ssian goals include genocide.
