“Sovereignty fetish” is a talking point that surprisingly shows up in a number of chauvinist cope pieces around any country that doesn’t immediately bow to the interests of the imperial core.

Westoids: Bloody murder! Russia is violating Ukraine's sacrosanct sovereignty! This affront to God and nature cannot stand!

This sounds like the kind of question a history teacher could ask me that would prompt me to give a based as hell answer.
"why are people so obsessed with not dying? like, what's the deal? Seinfeld outro"
My brother in Christ you literally base the entire notion of the modern western state solely on the concept of Westphalian Sovereignty.
IIRC "the diplomat" has its office in washington dc and its editor in chief is from a think tank
