Can you provide the neutral countries that have had direct wars occur against them as a result of a proxy war the U.S. has been involved in against Russia.

FACT is that, there are no longer neutral countries, nor countries that can manage to be isolationist. Ain't no such thing anymore.

Finland and Sweden and others tried neutrality, and even the U.S. tried neutrality/isolation, but, in world wars, everybody gets drawn into the fight. Ukraine was not at war before Putin came calling. In a big sense, Ukraine was 'neutral' and then, Crimea was taken, and Ukraine had to get involved in defending itself, with diplomacy and then with military defense.

We have countries with desires for expansion moving into what were neutral countries, in S. Ame4rica and in Asia and in Europe and Africa. China and Russia and Iran are not involved in foreign intervention because they want to improve the conditions in those areas. They are into those areas to expand their influence and even to take over some or all of those areas, and their ultimate target is the U.S., which they hope to make irrelevant.

The U.S. was isolationist before WW1 and WW2. What do you think forced us into those wars?

Thanks. I didn't think you could provide an answer. The rest of your attempted explanation is unnecessary. You made a claim. I asked you if you could provide an example. You couldn't. Case closed.
