proxy war
Proxy war is the refined military art of lending bullets and explosions to distant lands, while the sponsoring nation cogitates in comfortable armchairs and savors moral superiority. It stages carnage on foreign soil yet delivers unscathed victory at home. Under the banner of national interest, third-party soldiers become sacrificial pawns, and every crater is brushed off as collateral for peace. The true masterstroke lies in manipulating conflicts from afar, preserving one’s hands—and reputation—immaculately clean.
