Zawinski’s law states:
Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.
I wonder if there’s a corollary that applies to imperialism.
Every empire attempts to expand until it can occupy Afghanistan. Those empires which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

I wonder if we need a revised version? “Every program expands until it can post to Twitter?”
