Makes zero difference what anyone posts here or on internet in general. Majority posters have zero understanding of wars, most people post because of opinion based biased thinking which is why posts do not match with realities and results. Fortunately mine do.
Countries you mentioned were never nation-states, thats why collapse was easy because of inner conflicts. Majority of synthetic countries carved out by colonialists westerners in last century collapsed or were divided due to grey area socio-economic imbalances. I hope you know the difference between a nationstate and state. Libya, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and others etc. They were socioeconomically un-natural from their few decade old creation. Turkey, Iran, Russia, China, Germany on the other hand went through massive wars and forceful divisions but sustained and even grew, wonder why? Countries fall when they are un-natural or artifical by design. The examples I gave are heritage weilding centuries old nation states (millenium old in case of Iran). These nations always bounce back because over thousands or hundreds of years their ruling elite has sorted out the differences within, the population is socio-econimically cohesive to the core despite foriegn attempts. External factors are never permanent, invader will come and go but permanent damage to state comes from within which in case of nation states is always minimal. Different topic.
Minus the socioeconomic understanding and you get doom gamer childish thinking of countries getting "destroyed", "devastated", "neutralized" which is how usual mass on internet thinks.
