While people talk about possible conflicts during and after the Cold War (especially a certain Third World War), what's been missing out are ones regarding terrorist (or "freedom fighter") incidents that may or may not involve hostages, especially as they became more prominent after 1972 with the Munich incident and evolved after 9/11, which aren't a coincidence given the ties to the Cold War to various degrees. So then, what are some possible ways terrorist incidents (whether of the leftwing, rightwing, or something) can occur and where, and if so, can they be successfully toppled? Even better, what if the proxy thing with terrorists was taken on the next level, like what Iran does with its proxies IOTL (short of escalating into a shooting war)?
I know this may be a nebulous topic but lately I've been thinking about it since talking about possible conventional war and the nuclear possibility (or likeliness if you prefer) can get stale and not too reflective of what's going on regarding non-state organizations and people opposed to the government (even though there's a massive exception regarding Ukraine right now).
