The United States supported groups and governments opposing its rivals without directly fighting the Soviet military. It supplied weapons and economic aid, built alliances with friendly nations, and sometimes supported coups or dictatorships to influence who held power. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was not a U.S. action, and directly fighting Soviet forces would not be a proxy war.
