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.

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

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.
