Okay, so I don’t want to be dramatic, but it looks like steps towards WWIII are progressing incredibly steadily. Martial law in a country that is not in distress… I don’t think this bodes well for the world. Any refutations to my paranoia is highly welcome at this point.

It's definitely not a good sign, although it does look like the coup failed https://x.com/gerashchenko_en/status/1863977695912096093
