Amazing. Never in history has a country been invaded and conquered by inviting in outsiders and then suicidally letting them take over the country by sheer numbers.

Disagree. The Roman empire fell due to same forces. Barbarians (Huns, goths, germans..) moved across the border, were quasa-assimilated, bought off, etc. The rest is history.

What about the Goths that were first invited as foederati and then sacked Rome and ended the Western Empire?
