Classic MegaTen writer and game designer Kazunari Suzuki, a.k.a. "Archbishop Suzuki", wrote a new Buzz-Plus article a couple weeks ago. Yes, it's one of those good ol' roleplay bits where he pretends to summon a demon and discuss politics with him.
I ran the whole thing through machine translator DeepL, and made slight corrections in places to the best of my ability. Here it is:

"Summoning Serials" MegaTen Archbishop Kazunari Suzuki's House of Heresies Vol. 13 "Putin's War 1"
Archbishop Suzuki
Archbishop Suzuki: "I summon thee, Unborn! ......Aos! Abaos! Basum! Isaac! Sabaos! Iao! Thou art swiftly come and follow me! Enclosed to King Solomon, the war-calling Marquis of Hell, the Demon God Andras!"
Andras "Ggaaaaahhhh !!!!! Burn up the fires of war! Gush out your fresh blood! Come, good old days!"
Archbishop: "Great Marquis, do not rejoice so blandly."
Andras: "You have no idea! This bloodthirsty joy! The smell of gunpowder, the smell of blood! And the smell of shit flooding my gut!"
Archbishop: "What good is that ......"
Andras: "Gaahahahahahahaha! I feel good! I will answer anything!"
Archbishop: "I have many questions."
>Glamorous Carpaccio
Archbishop: "Now let us taste this sacrifice. Carpaccio of salmon, squid and sea bass with arugula, Italian parsley, basil, dill and other herbs, served with yellow cherry tomatoes."
Andras: "Gah! It looks brilliant! And these red berries?"
Archbishop: "Boisble rosé, or pink pepper, as it is called, is a refreshing spice of a different kind than pepper."
Andras: "Brilliant! The fish is fresh, but the herbs really bring out its flavor."
Archbishop: "Be food for those who taste well."
Andras: "Kakaa! I'm satisfied. So, this is about Ukraine, isn't it?"
Archbishop: "Yes. What can be done to stop this unforgivable Russian outrage!"
>Crushed Putin's ambitions?
Andras: "Gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah gah! Sweet, sweet, Archbishop!"
Archbishop: "It is true that ...... the war will not be easy to end ...... but ......"
Andras: "Gah! Not that!"
Archbishop: "What do you mean?"
Andras: "You said it was a Russian outburst. In order to stop the war, we must understand why the war started in the first place!"
Archbishop: "Isn't that to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO?"
Andras: "On one level, you are correct. But why did they decide to invade at this time!"
Archbishop: "Isn't it because Ukrainian President Zelensky has said he wants to join NATO?"
Andras: "Archbishop, you too have been hit by the TV's poisoned airwaves, though, huh? Starting a war requires careful preparation. Russia has been planning its invasion for years, and the conflict began even before the invasion of Crimea!"
Archbishop: "I understand. It is also Putin's ambition to revive a mighty Great Russia, is it not?"
Andras: "オオモトはそうだぁ! [DeepL and I were unable to translate that part. What the fuck is an "oomoto"?] It was because of that great Russian illusion that Putin was framed!"
Archbishop: "A trap! Who in the world? ...... No way, Biden?"
Andras: "Gah, don't be so hasty! Let's start with Biden's relationship with Ukraine."

>The Biden Family permeates Ukraine
Andras: "During the Obama administration, Biden visited Ukraine six times as vice president and built up a network of contacts. And he strengthened his confrontational stance toward Russia."
Archbishop: "What? Have we had a connection since then!"
Andras: "In April 2014, right after Crimea was taken by Russia, his son, Hunter Biden, became a director of Prisma, the largest energy company in Ukraine. And he was paid $5 million a month, which is extremely unheard of for Ukraine. That's five years for a part-time position!"
Archbishop: "Why such a high stipend at ......?"
Andras: "Prisma was being pursued by Ukrainian authorities for tax evasion and money laundering, but ...... Biden put a stop to it. In return, the Obama administration gave the Ukrainian government a $1 billion loan, gah!"
Archbishop: "Isn't Biden corrupt, why isn't the U.S. Congress pursuing it?"
Andras: "The president changed to Trump and he was pursued, but Trump was blamed for threatening Ukraine to get to the bottom of it."
Archbishop: "What the hell is going on in America?"
Andras: "It's not just the Bidens! The sons of several influential Democrats are on the boards of directors of important Ukrainian companies, gaah!"
Andras: "The most important diplomatic post in the Biden administration is awesome, gah."
Archbishop, "How is it great?"
Andras: "Antony Blinken is the Secretary of State, the Japanese Foreign Minister. His father is a Ukrainian Jew and his mother is a Hungarian Jew. And then there is Victoria Nuland, who is the head of the Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs. This woman is also of Ukrainian Jewish descent and is the biggest Russia hater of all! She has been a ball of unprecedented meddling in the internal affairs of Ukraine, entering the country and participating in demonstrations to oust the pro-Russian president! And the current Ukrainian President Zelensky is also a Jew!"
Archbishop: "In Stalin-era Russia, Jews were oppressed even more than in Nazi concentration camps. Historically, all of Russia's neighboring countries, such as Ukraine and Hungary, have been treated badly by Russia. Unlike Japan, resentment carries over from generation to generation."
Andras: "The human creature is a cute little thing that is quick to forget gratitude, but never forgets resentment!"
