    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        That's not the definition of a failed state. Military expansionism is a sign of a thriving state.

        Failed states don't have a functioning military, or functioning politics, mafia-corrupt or otherwise.

        If you've still got the power and the organisation to repress the citizens (your own or somebody else's), you're not a failed state.
