Not necessarily so. Armies need to be paid and equipped. Just because you don't have the necessary resources to wage conventional warfare on an opponent doesn't mean your cause isn't popular. Again, it doesn't take much to see how stupid it would be for say Hezbollah to wage war on the US. We would obliterate them and they know it.
