Not everything has to be deadly serious. Alex Berezow quotes the following Russian joke from the March, 2022, Internet.
According to Putin, the special military operation is really a conflict between Russia and NATO about world dominance. What’s the situation now?
Russia has lost 15,000 troops, 6 generals, 500 tanks, 3 ships, 100 planes, and 1,000 trucks. NATO hasn’t arrived yet.
And things haven't gotten better in the five months since. This classic Russian humor is the conclusion to an otherwise serious article which claims Putin has made four basic miscalculations in attacking Ukraine.
