But isn't that exactly how the Cold War works proxy wars across the world. This time Russia has a strong China on its side vs a weak US and its so-called allies.

And the fact that it's getting harder and harder to identify who is backing who and to what end. The middle east is just a mess of wars by proxy with China and Russia flexing their muscles at the west through these increasingly complicated battles. 

Not really its the west who started the syrian war with saudi arabia and turkey
