The other nation doesn’t get to decide what happens in the UK because the UK is also a sovereign nation.

Although it would be unusual, impolite and probably unwise, if the UK decides to enter the embassy by force and just take Assange, there isn’t a whole lot Ecuador could do about it, apart from making a big fuss. Ultimately it is the UK who decides to allow Ecuador the right to have an embassy on their soil in the first place and they can come back on that decision whenever they want.

Then of course you could argue Ecuador could abduct people from, for example, the British Embassy if they saw fit. It would set an incredibly unwise precedent.

I mean... Ecuador could, it's mutually assured abduction that keeps nations from doing this, but it's hardly unprecedented.
