Well that's fine too: the US will then need to deal with it's new colony's nuclear waste legacy! "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)

It’s a film called “The Mouse that Roared” with Peter Sellers; a very funny movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053084/).

I feel like it was an episode/arc in The West Wing.
