Your theory ignores conscience, which can resist any force.
Well, you see, it's a Real World Theory.
Nations do not have Conscience, they have only Interests and Population.
However, you are free to use your Conscience to resist the Interests of a few million other angry Humans.
You might achieve the Grand Enlightenment of Martyr, if those few million don't succeed in having you defined as a Criminal.
Or, if it's a hundred million people or so, they might write the History in which you never existed.
