Russia says it has test-fired another hypersonic missile
The Russian navy on Saturday conducted another test of a prospective hypersonic missile, a demonstration of the military's long-range strike capability amid the fighting in Ukraine.
The Defense Ministry said the Admiral Gorshkov frigate of the Northern Fleet in the White Sea launched the Zircon cruise missile in the Barents Sea, successfully hitting a practice target in the White Sea about 1,000 kilometers (540 nautical miles) away.
[...] Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Zircon is capable of flying at nine times the speed of sound and has a range of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles). Putin has emphasized that its deployment will significantly boost the capability of Russia's military.

I completely agree with you. Vlad's way before 24 Feb was intolerant postures and CGI PR. After the date it were hallucinations about great success ("everything goes to plan") and great doom ("existence threatened, ready nukes") at the same time. Now he's back at the PR it seems.
Not sure what crippling at the moment you are talking about, the long-time foe proved already pretty crippled to me. And about the single US troop there are quite a number of foreign volunteers, with the most numerous group from the US.
Screaming is what Vlad does since a while ago because that's pretty much left what he can do anymore. And dreaded nukes, albeit there are speculations not everybody will push the button in the mad case he gives the order.
