Take two sides who oppose each other, like the US and Russia. They don’t want to fight directly because this can lead to nuclear annihilation.

But maybe Russia is supporting another country’s activities. Syria, for example. The US could then fund and support a faction/army that is fighting against Syria.

This effectively is US money fighting against Russia’s money. A proxy war.
