Actually, it's called counter-terrorism, but the United States is still engaged in proxy wars.
They have turned from openly supporting a faction within a country to secretly aiding underground organizations.
For instance, if a government's regime opposes the United States.
In the past, during the rivalry with the Soviet Union, each side supported their factions.
But now the Soviet Union is gone.
There's no direct reason to intervene, and as the era of counter-terrorism begins, more and more terrorist organizations have emerged.
This has given the United States more choices.
Since direct interference isn't possible.
The strategy is to secretly support certain organizations within each country, causing internal chaos.
Once the chaos reaches a certain level.
They will inevitably seek intervention from the United States, allowing open interference.
And the benefits are considerable.
