    美国面临乌克兰、中东和台湾的潜在代理战争，必须回顾过去的成功与失败，以避免灾难性后果。代理战争并非新鲜事，古希腊和罗马时期就已存在。美国独立战争中，法国的支持对美国革命者至关重要。冷战期间，美国与苏联通过代理战争避免直接冲突，代理战争的有效执行可以避免直接伤亡，控制冲突并防止升级。1979年，苏联入侵阿富汗，美国支持反共的圣战者，最终导致苏联崩溃。然而，代理战争若规划不当，可能导致严重后果。越南战争中，美国初期避免直接介入，但随着局势恶化，逐渐卷入，最终以失败告终。如今，美国在一场代理战争中已深陷，并面临两场潜在战争，必须理解每场战争的独特性，制定明确的目标和全面的战略，以避免代理战争带来的意外后果。
