Difference between proxy and alliance is when the wars break out. As soon as you supply weapons to someone who is fighting against a current enemy of yours its a proxy war.
Yandex says it. Google says it. Merriam Webster says it.
Since you appear to claim that Groh is not an authoritative source, then perhaps you’d prefer Andrew Mumford. Who in in Proxy Warfare spends an entire chapter titled What is Proxy War? unpacking the levels of engagement and making it painfully obvious that not all indirect assistance qualifies. Or perhaps, Geraint Hughes and his book My Enemy’s Enemy: Proxy Warfare in International Politics which builds a whole framework around the specific strategic relationships that turn a conflict into a proxy war. And of course, we can’t forget the Routledge Handbook of Proxy Wars which is four hundred and fifty five pages long and exists entirely because the concept is so much more complicated than your little copy pasted internet definition could ever dream of being.
But sure, a definition you googled frantically is so much more authoritative 🤣

You were wrong.
“Amazing you don’t even know what a proxy is”
go read a book for once in your life, this is so utterly embarassing
There’s no proxy wars in Harry Potter, your recommendation doesn’t change things much.
Is better to recommend to watch Star Wars.
There’s a proxy war in Clone Wars when the Republic funded, trained and armed a rebel cell to overthrow their Separatist allied government.
that’s right really have to lean into liberal lore here
An opinion piece doesn’t change shit. And isn’t the authority on the subject.
They include opinion pieces in newspapers as well.
The definition is what you didn’t k know
