insurgency can do a lot, especially if the “developed” nation doesn’t want to level the place because it’s either their place too or will result in many civilian casualties.
A large part of the US special forces mission is training locals in insurgent/gorilla tactics. Most of the swiss defense posture is training their general population to just be familiar enough with weapons and tactics to wreck havoc on invaders, their standing army and armaments are really small.

Myanmar is exactly the kind of country that made me specify “modern, developed state”. Their military ain’t shit compared to the US or most european countries.

So you’re claiming something is impossible when there’s been zero popular revolts against your limited examples, mostly because no one running one has managed to fuck up that badly?
Alright lol
