Fear of touching raw nerve seems to suggest that it is a right thing to do, but it is NOT. Having mutual respect with China means not intervening in her domestic issues. However for 5 eyes nations, having been used to the norm of lookong down on all others as a judgr, may feel it is normal and justified. Thankfully their might going forward is no longer sustainable.
Absolutely, there's no doubt about it. If the 5 eyes don't have so much to loose, you bet your bottom dollar that it will go ahead and support you know who.
The fact is, the way the wind is blowing has changed. And these countries knows what's best for them, and adjust accordingly. And with each past moment, the more difficult it is for them to follow their old leader.
So now it's almost like every man for himself!
