A Russian joke making the rounds

Two Russian tankmen are sitting in a Parisian cafĂ©, drinking coffee, and eating croissants. Several columns of Russian tanks are parked outside. A stream of troops is passing by, headed westward. One tankman says to the other, “There is one thing I do regret: that we lost the information war over Ukraine.”

The above joke is quoted in one of the New Republic's latest articles, The U.S. Is Being Routed by Russia in the Information War Over Ukraine

The author says:

How can the U.S. be expected to win the hearts and minds of a people capable of a joke like that?

Yeah, I can relate to that.
