"Do you still maintain that this is not a proxy US-Russia war."

It might have already gone past that. If the reports are true and American mercenaries are involved with Ukrainian soldiers who have entered Russia in the Kursk region and have reportedly already attacked a nuclear power plant in an attempt to destroy it, then the situation would now be considered a hot war between America and Russia. We will have to wait a while to see confirmation of all that. If true then Russia might annihilate the entire invading force, including Americans, by deploying tactical nukes inside its own borders. Russia would be within its right to do so. We wait with bated breath.
