We had do the proxy stand war stuff with Indonesia in East west Timor.
Still plenty there for the trouble to be stirred amongst neighbours left over from old rulings to be proxies for all the wrong reasons.
Imo
Countries should start getting ahead of the places where nefarious foreign influence unelected in the regions can gain a foothold peacefully to get in front of being used as a proxy for ambitions as world powers imo
Anyway, they are going leave you for dead anyway if you don't get in front of them and drag you into conflicts you never had before .
Allegiances with your neighbours before being exploited .
Take it on before war Australia an get the old colonial boundaries out of the war they want o take advantage of in proxy places they identifie to drag you into conflict
