What part of martial law do you not understand?
A country being invaded can be and will be overthrown if possible. In fact, it's been done many times in European imperialist history.
That's why the clause exists, even before democracy was normalized in Europe. Just find someone else in line for procession and install a puppet prince.
It's even been abused. Some speculate that Trump would trigger martial law to stay in office - or even Netenyahu himself clinging to power.
In the end you don't want a captured government. That's also historically been really bad.
Letting democracy exist is bad because then the government might change hands.
Gotcha.
Read history, bro - instead of suckling at the feet of Putin. Martial law does not exclude democracy, as democracy is more than national elections and representative democracy (not that you'd know anything about that) - but a change in government can actively sabotage defences and weaken a nation to be overrun by a foreign agressor 👏 while 👏 the 👏 nation 👏 is 👏 being 👏 invaded.
But tell me how Maripol being leveled is somehow good for renovation plans.

Ukraine already has a captured government. 😜
