It carries a heavy connotation of manipulation and exploitation, suggesting that the local population and territory are merely tools or pawns for the strategic interests of external superpowers.

In political discourse, the term is often used to critique the lack of accountability and the prolonged nature of such conflicts, as the external sponsors provide weapons and funding without risking their own soldiers in large-scale combat.
