There was a definite sloppiness with proxy wars fought in cold war era. Between the USSR and the US there seems to have been a persistent fear that the other would gain power and influence if a key region failed to self govern.

If there's one thing that will always be true about America it's that it will never give up an opportunity to sell or supply weapons.
