I don’t know if I’m going crazy but looking at the current situation in the world … please tell me that I’m overexagurating

      The war in Ukraine in absolutely not a proxy war. Also, that description is neither of proxy war since the whole point of them is to not engage your own troops.

        Fair enough on the description part but Ukraine is absolutely a proxy war on the US end of it.

          How so? The US is supporting Ukraine in the same fashion as the rest of Europe and other parts of the world. They are hardly engaged in a proxy war against Russia?

          I believe a big difference is also that the US offered evacuation in the beginning of the war, but lent help instead when it became clear that the Ukranians wanted to defend themselves
