Declaring war on the United States with a threat of intentional nuclear warfare against its population would be a particularly bad idea. That'll get your sovereignty revoked very quickly via military occupation.
The response to what I said of course is: yeah but the US is doing a bad thing. That's correct and it changes absolutely nothing about the fact that declaring nuclear war on the US, declaring the intention to try to harm its people with nuclear material, is a bad idea. Fairness is never going to exist between a superpower and weaker nations, it never has, it never will. The superpower dictates the terms in nearly all cases.

"Oh no, we lost and got everything we needed!" :) Isn't there an old film where a small island declares independence from the US, declares war on the US and then surrenders after 5 minutes to get aid? (Edited because I think it's actually colony's not colonies)
