Wow!! That is truly amazing that you’re just now putting this together?!?!(And Um not in a good way too. You’re more than a little correct and more than a lot slow…) Ok, genius. Lol Almost all the wars in the modern era are proxy wars. The only exception is those wars currently being waged as civil wars. Such as Syria and Myanmar for example.
@Ontheroad Your perception of Putin is troubling. Is Putin a threat to you? The entire world includes all the people in China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. All those people don't view Putin as a threat. They view you as a threat. What do you say to that?
@sree251 Troubling for who? Not me, and most of the rest of the world. The troubling part is your view, but it's yours and I don't mind you being wrong.
"The collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and compatriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself."
