    They will say this is a proxy war but will say that Russia helping Iran isn’t the same thing as a proxy war.

      Would Iran collapse without Russia’s assistance? Can Ukraine afford to decline any form of help from NATO countries? These come to mind.

    i’d say it’s more of a NATO proxy war against russia, with the US being a major stakeholder.

    a proxy proxy war if you will

      Well. If that is true. Russia cannot win a proxy war it seems. Let alone when NATO actually joins the war.

      But no, this is not a proxy war against Russia… Russia attacked, Ukraine asked for help, and some countries (that are also in NATO) decided to help.
