I don’t think the people of any nation deserve the blame for what their leaders do.
I emphatically disagree, most especially in representative democracies. That whole bit in the US Constitution about ruling "by the consent of the governed," means that the decisions of the elected representatives are the will of the people, for good and for ill.
And if any country’s people should suffer the consequences of their elected representatives’ actions, it’s America, as voting out of personal disgust is about all the American public can largely bother to do.
