It also repeatedly calls this is a proxy war, which is simply not true based on, ya know, definitions of words.

Here's a guy who disagrees. But what does he know, he's just a former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2022-03-17/u-s-is-in-a-proxy-war-with-russia-panetta-video

Proxy war: a war instigated by a major power which does not itself become involved.

Instigate: bring about or initiate (an action or event).
