We are now in a formal Proxy War with Russia regarding Iran. Why?

Because Putin might not survive as the leader of Russia without Iranian Drones and missiles. That's why.

The Ukraine war has drained Russia's Soldiers and resources down to nothing basically. So, without Iran's Drones and Missiles (that we are blowing up every day now including where they are built too) Russia could collapse on itself quite easily and Putin might be deposed as Russia now goes completely bankrupt as a nation.

So, not only is Putin giving Satellite co-ordinates of all U.S. Assets in the region it is also giving Strategic help in fighting the U.S. and NATO. So, even though Trump has tried to keep us out of the War in Ukraine (mostly unsucessfully) he is being drawn into a protracted war with Russia in this proxy war now regarding Iran.

So, 

1. Putin might not be able to survive without Iran's weapons like the Shahed Drones.

2. Iran is going down for the count on many different levels but is going more asymmetrical warfare now sort of the way that the Iraq Militias fought American Troops in Iraq for so long.

3. Also, Isis and Iran terrorists hate each other and are likely killing each other more now too.

4. Though Iran is Shia Terrorists not Sunny Terrorists like ISIS.

5 Though Hezbollah terrorists are Shia Muslim not Sunni Muslim.

6. Strangely enough, ISIS is now attacking various places in the U.S. (because of America's attacks on Iran?)

7. I'm not entirely sure how all this works at this point. Are ISIS and Shia TErrorists working in concert at this point?

8. I'm not sure where all this is going and likely neither are you or anyone else at this point.

9. It's a total mess with no useful end in sight.

10. When will it be over?

11. Maybe when ISIS and Shia TErrorists blow up Tel Aviv with a nuke? Because I think this is one of the things that might happen next where Israel winds up being in existence no more.

12. However, this might be 5, 10, or 20 years in the future or not at all. Crazy times we live in! 

What are some of the other proxy wars with Russia we have been in before?

the 1980s war with Afghanistan where Osama Bin Laden shot down Russian planes and tanks with something like Stinger missiles until Russia had to withdraw because they just lost too much hardware to CIA supplied Stinger missiles to Osama Bin Laden blowing up Russian Planes, helicopters and Tanks.

The Korean war where both China and Russia Fought the U.S. there in various ways.

The Middle Eastern Wars starting with Bush Senior and ending with Biden.

so, we have a long history of proxy wars with Russia (and also China).

Thousands of Americans died in all these wars except for maybe the Russian incursion into Afghanistan where Osama Bin Laden and the Mujahadeen fighters of Afghanistan blew up Russian hardware (air and land) with STinger types of missiles bought from Israel by the CIA.

So now, Putin is fighting Trump and Netanyahu in Iran.

This likely will make this war about 5 to 10 times more expensive to fight and likely impossible to win with Russia involved now. It also might spell the end of Israel eventually too.

It's really hard to say. We will all have to wait and see what actually happens next.
