I mean, they're right, industrial superiority just also requires the will to keep the war going for as long as necessary, and with whatever casualties necessary. For "Shitty war that violates another country for reasons we ourselves aren't entirely clear on", the will is generally lacking; for "A third of our country was just taken by traitors because they decided they only like democracy when they win", there's generally plenty of will.

Except there actually wasn't. People don't like killing their literal own family. Civil war sucks even worse than normal war.
