No, and if you let more powerful countries just walk in and take
over smaller countries, eventually they will get bigger than you
and you might be next. Everyone is pussy footing around worrying
about starting WW3 but that attitude has left Ukraine with nothing
but financial aid. Granted, a lot of it, but if you play at an
extended little war, it costs a lot more than a bigger fast one.
