I would add that if your nation’s population reaches a critical mass of malcontents, moochers, and morons (a la FUSA 2023), you are pretty much hosed trying to hold onto anything other than the alpine/semi-alpine redoubts under some pretty foxy overhead cover.
Think Ho Chi Minh, not George Patton.
Or even Dwight Eisenhower.
