You said -- "Losing an entire area of the country only cause a slight stumble in the nation's progress.
As far as territory goes we are to big and to spread out to be effectively hit in a way that would send us "back a thousand years" with one blow."
God has been known to "show up" a nation's confidence in itself, by means of wealth and power and military and whatever else they trust in -- when they have abandoned the faith of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Your statements sound like that. And that's about the time that God steps in and sets the record straight. He reminds people that it's not the nation's power and size and wealth and military that makes it strong. It's their faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that makes them strong.
Where is that faith?

Not in you that is for certain.
So if something bad happens it is all your fault.
