Would that work? Maybe for a second. But the global north would rather nuke Samoa off the face of the face of the Earth than stop their lucrative and polluting activities. They'd craft the narrative of Samoa being a major threat anyway.
Nobody nukes a populated island because 12-something isolated citizens blew up some refineries and a pipeline
The head of state will claim they're isolated terrorist groupuscules, condemn any and all forms of violence, allow some western army to occupy samoa to maintain peace as a status quo
Meanwhile you now have everyone talking about the Samoan cause, lots of people saying Samoa did nothing wrong, they will give a platform to whatever Samoan moderate is able to get them out of the public opinion's ire and it is going to be that woman from that article who is pushing a milquetoast diplomatic approach, or somebody like her. Except this time with 100x the voice and resources
It's just the suffragettes all over again every single time the little guy with a rightful cause is pushed to violence
