Buddy, I know exactly what I'm talking about, here you might want to educate yourself https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html
you link to a massive report by - ahem - rand - a dubious source of its own, and don't even bother to explain your point or who this adds anything to back it up. more like you google your position and just linked the first thing that confirmed your bias. you've gone from comparing Ukraine to Afghanistan to moving the goalposts to just calling it a proxy war. your argument keeps falling apart and changing.
if you had an argument to make, you would, rather than relying on something you don't understand and can't explain to do it or you.
RAND represents the views of the neocons who run your country, and it outlines the exact scenario we're seeing unfold in Ukraine as a way for US to weaken Russia. It's absolutely incredible that Americans continue to believe that each time their country gets involved in a new war that this is going to be the one time you're on the right side of history.
I just love how you keep acting smug here while showing utter lack of understanding regarding the subject you're opining on. Maybe instead of telling me what I do or don't understand go read the report your deplorable regime wrote.
You really have your work cut out for you with all these redditlibs incoming
I sure didn't miss that part of reddit.
