edit: at the same time, in the same conflict.

I remember reading a few years ago about a conflict in (I want to say) 1980’s Latin America where this occurred; however I can’t find anything about this with current online search tools. Did I hallucinate this or did this actually, and if so what groups?

    It’s not like they backed factions based on ideology…

    In virtually everyone of those proxy governments it was a dictator who agreed to back one side or the other

      They absolutely backed factions based on ideology, it was the Cold War lol

      Interesting claim that it didn’t matter because “it was all just dictators fighting each other” btw
