I think your (and his?) premise is insufficient. Your version is "nations which can’t adapt to changing military technology dying [die]." What does that really mean? Do all nations have to adapt to changing military technology or die? A few nations have? The US is one of the most alive governments/countries because it has one of the most powerful military forces? What about the old saying about empires dying?The United Arab Republic. Unable to adapt to Israeli military advantages, and therefore defeat on the battlefield. led to the collapse of pan Arabism.
Yugoslavia, where advanced military technology, coupled with increased ethnic division, meant that the JNA was unable to successfully repress the various uprisings and hold the country together.
Biafra, which was unable to cope with the Nigerian Federal Government’s superior weaponry.
To name just three examples.
Are you a believer in "Peace through superior firepower"?
