People admitted that the Korean War was a proxy war with both China and Russia.
People admitted that the Viet Nam War was a proxy war with China and Russia
Why aren't people in our government admitting that this is a proxy war mostly with Russia but also with China indirectly too?
Otherwise most people in the U.S. seem to have no idea at all that this is going on.
Definition of a proxy war:
begin quotes:
proxy war
/ˈpräksē ˌwôr/
A proxy war is an
armed conflict where major powers or external states secretly or openly
support opposing local forces, rebel groups, or smaller nations instead
of fighting each other directly. This approach lets the major
powers pursue strategic interests and project influence while avoiding
the devastating costs and risks of direct, open warfare.
How They Work
- The "Sponsor": The external power that indirectly drives the conflict by supplying the proxies with weapons, funding, training, and intelligence.
- Primary Motivations: Sponsors utilize proxy wars for plausible deniability,
to prevent the escalation of a conflict into a broader regional or
global war, and because it is significantly cheaper than deploying a
full national army.
