The Macho Libertarian Flash(tm) answer is that there is NO justification, short
of actually being invaded by another sovereignty and needing to repel the
attack, that justifies attack on another sovereign country.

I'm curious--under the Flash(tm) philosophy, what happens if one sovereign
nation invades and subjugates a second nation, thereby imposing the sovereignty
of the invader over the invaded?

Armed conflict happens, presumably.

What kind of action can be taken in response,
since the invader could simply assert that the invaded nation is now part of it.
In other words, who gets to decide which country's sovereignty is valid,

The citizens of the invaded country. As always, just as if they were considering
secession peacefully.

and
what's to prevent one nation from annexing another,

The Second Amendment should help slow down invasions considerably, properly
applied.

if that second nation can't
repel the annexation?  In what forum can the invaded nation plead its case?

The case can be pled in the court of world public opinion when the Valiant
Resistance(tm) seeks volunteers and cash (from private citizens, not
governments, mind you) to help overthrow the oppressor.
