Self determination 

self-determination is often seen as a moral and legal right that every nation is entitled to a sovereign territorial state, and that every specifically identifiable population should choose which state it belongs to, often by plebiscite. It is commonly used to justify the aspirations of an ethnic group that self-identifies as a nation toward forming an independent sovereign state, but it equally grants the right to reject sovereignty and join a larger multi-ethnic state.
Self determination gave rise to decolonization/independence movements in Asia and Africa. Resource Wikipedia.org

Self determination 

The ability for a nation or people to decide their own sovereign status. This ability is granted to nations only when the United States determines that it has nothing to gain or too much to lose by invading and/or instilling a coup. Subject to change at any time.
Did you see the thing about Australia?

Yeah, yeah. It's such a shame when a country gets its self determination revoked.

Crazy, isn't it? And not even a month after they found that massive oil deposit.

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
