And now instead of fighting one army, you’re fighting ten. Good luck even having a country after that.

Pretty easy in fact, just ask china. Well there was one Island that cried to mommy and was a fascist dictatorship protected by the US for half a century before "democratic" reforms came in (incidentally after all the natives of that island died and the only people left were descendants of the fascist dictatorship that fled there.

This is a lesson the Americans learn the hard way in the Middle East, over and over again.

No, the lesson Americans keep learning is there is no revolution without popular support. You cannot coup your way to a popular and favorable government. Because popular governments never align with American interests outside the quite literally evil west. Popular governments in the rest of the world are socialist or communist, because they actually are democracies and care about the quality of life of their populace, while also caring about all other humans. Unlike all western governments.
