"Embarassing" seems a flippant response but I don't know what other one to have, this is so far past "brutal", "senseless" and "needlessly violent". War at a baseline is senseless, but this? What do you even call this?
I honestly think this will be remembered as one of the largest military blunders of modern history, the scale and ineffectiveness of Russia's strategy is staggering and military historians all over the world will use the Russian side of this war as the obvious touchstone to speak to how not to fight a war.
