The reader asked: What is the "agent war"?

Editor: Comrade:

Recently, I saw the news of the US survey website's "interception" that exposed the "127E" project, saying that the United States launched at least 23 agent wars worldwide through the project from 2017 to 2020. What is the "agent war"?

Sichuan reader Yu Xiaomin

The so -called "agent war" refers to the war of war with the support of one or two parties in the battle as an agent or representative of the external forces, with the support of external forces and obtaining external forces of funds. In other words, the "Agent War" can also be understood as a war that does not directly participate in the war, but to use external conflicts to achieve the purpose of combating the purpose of enemy or enemy allies. The launch of the "agent war" is an ancient strategy, and there are many cases of "agent war" in history. For example, during the century -old British and French century -old war, the two countries launched the opponent's internal rebellion for armed for chaos; the Ottoman Turkish Empire supported to encourage the pirate forces to combat Christian forces in the Mediterranean, and so on.

The United States has launched the "Agent War" many times. For example, from 1947 to 1949, the United States involved in the Greek civil war and assisted the Greek royal regime to combat local communist guerrillas; in the late 1970s, the United States launched the "Hurricane Action" plan to vigorously support the power of Afghan anti -Soviet guerrillas, hoping to use the "" "Agent's War" puts the Soviet Union into "Amazanna".
