    Go read a history book.

    Says the person who doesn’t seem to have read any.

    A coup does not result in the destruction of the state, genius - that’s the whole point of a coup.

    Syria is a prime example.

    No, Syria still has a state… unless you have any proof that it has been destroyed that nobody else in the world knows about?

    And I know, you’re just going to blame external meddling

    Why would I? You can’t even prove the basic assumptions your claims are based on.

      The Syrian State lost control, resulting in a massive civil war where everyone meddled.

      Loss of control is the destruction of a State. That’s what it looks like.

      It became a quagmire of sectarian violence with about a dozen different sides. Some communities were actually doing cool shit, some were engaging in genocides.

      In the end, a new State had to be created, and even now things are not quite peachy keen in the country.

        No. That’s not how states work.

        a new State had to be created

        Nope. Again, that’s not how states work. Somebody else seizing a state does not mean the state has ceased to exist.

          So, you think the State is some vague magic conspiracy then? No, it’s the government and associated bureaucracies. The rules and regulations by which society functions.

          It’s the tool of control, and when it’s not in control, it’s just a group of armed thugs.
