The concept of a nation only exists if you can defend it. I can’t declare my house a sovereign nation and assume that other nations have a moral duty to defend my sovereignty from America (or any other nation).
I get extrapolating an analogy to extremes to make a point. But there is a vast gulf of difference between declaring one’s house within a sovereign state another sovereign state and expecting others to come to your aid, and a large, otherwise uninhabited tract of land, rich with precious metals requesting sovereignty upon that land with the aid of allies with which they can trade.

Don’t be silly.
