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.

Yes, but US/UK never directly bombed/struck the USSR soil or vice versa, so it is unprecedented.

Ok goalpost mover.
And yet you continue with your liberal debatebro pedantry. Sad.
