A proxy war is a type of armed conflict in which two or more countries, groups or organizations support opposing sides in a third country. This means that instead of fighting directly against each other, they support and provide resources, such as weapons and training, to opposing sides in the conflict. The countries, groups or organizations that are providing support are known as "proxy powers."

One of the main reasons for proxy wars is to avoid direct confrontation between the main countries, groups or organizations involved. This can happen when two countries are too powerful to fight each other directly, or when they have different political ideologies or interests. They may also be used to achieve geopolitical goals, such as gaining control of resources or territory, or to gain influence in a region.

The use of proxy forces can also be a way for countries to maintain plausible deniability, as they can deny direct involvement in the conflict. This can make it difficult to determine who is responsible for certain actions and can lead to a lack of accountability.

Proxy wars can have a significant impact on the countries, groups or organizations involved, as well as on the countries where the conflict is taking place. They can result in large-scale destruction, death, and displacement of civilians, as well as economic and political instability. They can also lead to the creation of new extremist groups, and fuel regional conflicts.

**WE'RE ALREADY IN WORLD WAR 3:** a proxy war is an armed conflict in which two or more countries, groups or organizations support opposing sides in a third country. It's a way to avoid direct confrontation, achieve geopolitical goals and maintain plausible deniability. However, it can have significant negative impacts on the countries, groups or organizations involved, as well as on the countries where the conflict is taking place. It's important to find peaceful and diplomatic solutions to conflicts and to consider the human cost of war.
