If NATO is in fact at war with Russia via proxy (and a proxy war is, in fact, a war), then why hasn’t Russia attacked NATO?

Unwittingly, you just described Russia's proxy war with NATO. Keep trying Sparky, the light might come on.

“Unwittingly, you just described Russia’s proxy war with NATO. Keep trying Sparky, the light might come on.”

Nice try, Sparky.

You will note that I said IF there were a proxy war...IF, brother; IF. IF implies a conditional premise. In other words, it is not declarative or definitive; it is mere supposition.

Keep trying, Sparky. One day you’ll get it.
