While it indeed happened easier then I would of expected, the reasons are not that difficult to surmise. One country is reliant on leftover scraps from the 1980s for it's military hardware, the other has multi-billion dollar datacenters they can use to strategically dissect the country and figure out precisely what is the exact best things to do at the exact best time. The US historically never struggled with toppling state actors, it's difficulties where with quelling decentralized resistances. What happens now is the big question.
