@Marduk73 @mozz It is not a proxy war. The war is between Russia and Ukraine. To call it a 'proxy war' is to insult 'Ukraine' and is only good for Russia.
depends on your perspective. from a western power indirectly fighting Russia through donations, training, and equipment, this is 110% a proxy war. and the Ukrainians have proven they are made of tougher stuff than to be insulted by such a word.
@Marduk73
No. It does not depend on perspective. The war against Ukraine was started by Russia, and Russia and Ukraine are the only combatants. No matter that several western countries have supplied Ukraine with weapons and Iran and North Korea, Russia, your use of the term, 'Proxy War' is incorrect.
But keep using the term if you like the sound of it ๐
