Gee, is it really a surprise to you that powerful nations rule the world and that middle powers has never really meant much beyond those supporting he major power they will tend to support whether it be western or otherwise.

Sad what is going in USA today, but what other choice does Australia have with its water pistol defence force and economy that is supposed world leading by relying on free trade as if all was ever going to end well with the benefit going to the CCP with its authoritarian leadership and growing ability to influence the world.
