Such countries cannot fight a war against a large modern country. Larger, modern countries can strike out at such countries without ever being seen.

An occupation, however, is a different story.
show me just one country in the middle east where things became better after a military intervention.

and yes - a conventional war they can not win and this is why this kind of policy leaves them with 2 alternatives:

1. become a nuclear power
2. fight back with terror

this problems are hand made by the US - and not only since trump.
he is just making it worse by extending this kind of stupidy to the whole planet.

a country that's been waging war for 80 years without interruption, leading dozens of countries into misery has already proven that it doesn't work.

750 billion defense budget didn't protect you from putin using the cheapest methods of modern communication to rush the whole western world to each other like fighting dogs and to tear themselves apart.
putin sits in his kremlin and laughs his ass off.
