Bergoglio was a South American intellectual. He could recognize a proxy war when he saw one. That's why his account of the war was a tad more complex and articulated than that of the average liberal Anglo.

He even sees a proxy war when there is none...

Let me make this clear for you: Russia invaded Ukraine, and wants to erase the existence of Ukraine.

Russia steals Ukrainian grain and agricultural machines.

Russia destroys Ukrainian museums and any historical artefact related to Ukrainian writers.

Russia steals ukrainian children to raise them as russians.

Russia is engaged in open genocidal elimination of Ukraine. They speak about it openly, they write about it, they issue press releases about it.

There is no proxy there. Russia is doing all of this by themselves.
