Russian lawmakers authorize Putin to use military force outside the country

[Jinx999]

There are two separate videos I've seen of Ukranians hitching tractors (the two tractors are different colours) to Russian military vehicles and dragging them away.

I don't think anyone knows exactly what's going on.

I get the impression that Putin honestly expected the Russian troops to be welcomed as liberators while the West fumed impotently and imposed some desultory penalty.

He's definitely not going to achieve his intended victory.

He might be able to occupy the bombed flat land inhabited by people who hate his guts and will require a constant massive occupation force.

Which would only be considered a victory in a very technical sense.
