An American poses the question; "Are we the baddies"? The answer is yes.
The thing with bad bullies is they always have hangers on that are weak as piss. However, it is these hangers on that the bully needs to justify the bullying.
Australia is pathetic in this regard. If we were a true friend, long ago we would have tapped the US on the shoulder to say "Ffs, enough is enough. Pull your head in". Instead we just pathetically cheer you on, thinking we are tough also.
I feel we will all find out soon enough.
Australia is unfortunately not the only one.
