There was pretty direct involvement of both sides in Afghanistan (in the 80s), Vietnam, and especially Korea. It's bad, but at least it's not wholly unprecedented.
Yes, but US/UK never directly bombed/struck the USSR soil or vice versa, so it is unprecedented.
Russian civil war Cough
lol ok debatebro, but obviously it was comparison with Cold War 1.0. Pretty sure they didn’t have nukes in Russian civil war.
Ok goalpost mover.
The USSR was a hegemon back then. So it could engage in "symmetrical" proxy wars. This is a new situation, I think, where the USA, UK, and France able to act through far more proxies than either Russia or China can.
