So based on this event, the show doesn't consider this as similar to USA abandoning democracy. Leaving your nation defenseless is surrendering it to a foreign nation.

Things remains, Uzumi and ORB's higher-ups who are loyal to their ideals never surrendered their nation until their deaths. What's left are those officials who would kiss the Federation's ass just to survive and ordered their military forces to surrender. The rest of the military forces could only do what's ordered (I guess that's how people like Captain Todaka still managed to live). Cagalli herself and the crew of Kusanagi wanted to fight, but Uzumi himself applied the "live today to fight tomorrow" rule on them. It's called strategic retreat imo. ORB would never be conquered entirely as long as Cagalli and the people aboard the Kusanagi live.
