It’s not new. It’s the difference between a proxy war and an actual war. Rome did it with Germanic tribes, China did with step tribes. You help the little guy fight the big guy to sap them, but avoid going head to head. When they failed at this, they’d get run over. Direct help is a generally understood act of war. We’re tip toeing that line right now with what we’re already doing. And we should be afraid because there isn’t a quorum calling the shots in Russia right now. It’s essentially 1 man’s mood and folks trying to talk him down.
