They were both "proxy-wars" fought for (at least on
the US side) for very limited purposes, and on top of
that there was the risk of nuclear escalation (rather
than UN intervention) that made the superpowers act
more cautiously. If anything would prevent the
interstellar conflicts from spreading to Earth it is
the knowledge that such expansion would also result in
a devastating nuclear exchange, rather than UNSC's
good offices.
