When did Switzerland have a crippling balance of payments deficit coupled with an increasingly overstretched military?
But I accept your point. Any country does have the right to protect its population. Even if its being invaded by a global hyper-power. And that protection might take the form of guerrilla action directed at the hyper-power's population either in order to cause discontent in that population and so divert its government away from foreign policy and back to home matters, or by forcing the hand of that hyper-power to crystallise disparate nations into forming an alternative power-block and so to form an effective opposition.
If your quarrel is with a group that has no country (do you mean the Palestinians, or Al Quaida?) then invading 2 countries isn't necessarily going to make you any friends.
Sometimes might is not the best way. Switzerland has certainly benefited from its neutral status, and global hyper-power's might benefit from a more softly-softly approach too.
