Based on historical "FAFO" moments (fuck around and find out), here's a top XX list of countries that provoked conflicts and faced severe consequences:

X. Russia (2022 Ukraine invasion): Sanctions, losses, stalemate.
X. Japan (1941 Pearl Harbor): WWII defeat, atomic bombs.
X. Germany (WWII invasions): Total defeat, division.
X. Argentina (1982 Falklands): Swift UK defeat.
X. Iraq (1990 Kuwait invasion): Gulf War rout.
X. Serbia (1990s Balkans): NATO bombings.
X. Libya (2011 provocations): Intervention, regime fall.
X. Afghanistan (1979 Soviet invasion, from Soviet view): Mujahideen quagmire.
X. France (Napoleonic Wars): Waterloo defeat, exile.
XX. Persia (ancient Scythian campaign): Humiliating retreat.

Context matters; these are defensive responses to aggression. (287 chars)
