A one-sided proxy world war. Fucking wild

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.

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.
