Actually, they didn't go to Osea for help. Osea was a very power-hungry, expansionist country before President Harling introduced the idea of being peaceful and co-existing with allies. That's why Osea was so antagonistic towards Belka and invaded further into Belkan territory than necessary, resulting in Belka nuking themselves as a last resort to stop them.

I'm getting a little sidetracked, but it explains why Osea did a lot of their actions in the 90s. Osea reached out to the southern Usean countries with a military pact, and the rebel forces took over because they feared Osea's presence (sound familiar?) and they also didn't want to lose mining rights in the southern countries.

On top of that, you also have to understand that Cross Rumble's story is just Ace Combat 5 again. The Grey Men, or whoever their predecessor was, orchestrated at least part of the conflict by supplying the ZOE program as well as trying to attack Yuktobania with ICBMs and start a global conflict, so it wasn't entirely Usea involved in here.
