Yes. That's actually enshrined in international law. Sovereignty is pretty much defined as whomever has enough force in that place to get their way.
the international operating mode is that serious conflicts are resolved with machines designed to destroy property and lives
CGP Grey puts it this way: Sovereignty == Bigger Army Diplomacy.
Actually that's not quite right. Sovereignty == Better Armed Forces with Sustainable Logistics Diplomacy.

Watching 'The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10 The line, "While you can call them all British it's not recommended as the four countries generally do not like each other." hooked me, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Rest of my day is gone watching these videos, I'm down the rabbit hole.
