    There is a risk of paternalistically denying the agency of small states and non-state actors when dealing with the Super Powers in this period. Yes, the Americans and the Soviets manipulated such actors into proxy conflicts. However, such actors also manipulated the Super Powers into supporting them in conflicts that really had nothing to do with the Super Powers' ideological struggle. One side in a pre-existing power struggle would go to Moscow and assure them they were good Communists, and their enemies dastardly Capitalists. Meanwhile the other side would go to Washington and make similar claims, only with the adjectives reversed. Pretty soon American and Soviet Arms would be flowing in, free of charge, along with KGB and CIA operatives, aid packages, and all the rest of the Cold War classics. All for a war that had more to do with whose goat was stolen 600 years ago than it did economic theories, and where neither side wanted to implement a purely Marxist or purely Capitalist system if they won. Egypt was particularly good at this kind of manipulation, managing to get aid from both sides without ever committing to either camp. None of which is meant to defend Imperialism or Colonialism, as it was practiced by east or west. But in condemning it, let's not treat its victims like they were children. They were adults, and they were sometimes capable of pulling one over on the Super Powers, especially with the Super Powers rushing blindly into regions of the world they knew nothing about.

      @@yourtrappedinmygenjutsu visual aid, my arse! It's a different conflict in a different country. It also very disrespectful to the British Army. They were soldiers in the service of the Crown, not hired thugs. If we had been discussing abuses by the Army I'd Aden I wouldn't have any issues. But to talk about mercenaries whilst showing British soldiers in action in what was part of the Empire and soon to be an independent state is not on.
