Your examples are of bureaucracies destroyed from the outside, by stronger competitors for the same resources. It's quite impossible to curb a bureaucracy from the inside, e.g. through "democratic process". The system will not fix the problems with the system.

Perhaps, but so don't do that.

If the wasteful bureaucracy will not commit suicide then help some less wasteful one to commit fratricide.

Just need a competing Navy to conquer the US. Easy as pie.

If they have container ships, I wouldn't bet against them...
