Which indicates quite clearly that you believe military power should decide whether a nation has the right to independence. You don't get to try to deflect that ex post facto. You either admit that this is what you genuinely believe in spite of its obvious morality problem, or you admit that you were wrong to make such a statement and acknowledge that your ideas about national independence need changing.

The point is not whether it should, the point is that it definitely is the primary factor.

No, that is not the point that was made in this comment:

Skill issue. If I wanted to have a recognized independent country I would simply win the civil war instead of losing and then hiding in America's skirt like a coward.

This comment makes very plain that the writer believes that a nation only achieves independence through military force.
