Generally what you'll see is right wing types directly supporting Russia (because they hate gay and trans people) and a certain stripe of leftists who will lean more into "NATO expansionism", "Western proxy war" and all that other thoroughly debunked nonsense that, while not explicitly pro-Russia, is all directly lifted from Kremlin propaganda talking points.

You need two (or more) proxies to have a proxy war and looking at the belligerents and who supports them it's clear who is who: Ukraine is South Korea's proxy, Russia the one of North Korea.

The only way to get that from what I said would be;

A) a serious lack of reading comprehension.

Or

B) intentionally misconstruing in bad faith.

You're more than welcome to tell us all which it was.

It is if you are doing it in a discussion about whether or not Russia should be allowed to enact wars of aggression...
