Nobody nukes a populated island because 12-something isolated citizens blew up some refineries and a pipeline
The head of state will claim they’re isolated terrorist groupuscules, condemn any and all forms of violence, allow some western army to occupy samoa to maintain peace as a status quo
Meanwhile you now have everyone talking about the Samoan cause, lots of people saying Samoa did nothing wrong, they will give a platform to whatever Samoan moderate is able to get them out of the public opinion’s ire and it is going to be that woman from that article who is pushing a milquetoast diplomatic approach, or somebody like her. Except this time with 100x the voice and resources
It’s just the suffragettes all over again every single time the little guy with a rightful cause is pushed to violence
