Never heard of a proxy war? You may be younger, but in the Cold War years there were a lot of them.
“Never heard of a proxy war?”
Sure I have.
Imagine Mexico trying to take Arizona, or California for that matter, being flooded with Russian weapons and encouragement to go, go go, after a pro-American Mexican government had been overthrown and replaced with a pro-Russian one.
Would you consider that a “proxy war”?
