In this case, we are not only seeing actual proxy wars (Syria, Yemen, Lebanon), but also intrastate proxy wars between agencies (CIA vs. NSA/MI) and proxy wars between NGOS and states (CIA vs. SA).

It is important to remember that in a proxy war, not only are the players not necessarily representative of the actual powers at play, but that the goals and outcomes of those players may be very different from what they seem.
