    Those are questions to determine if you’re at war with Iran.

    Then they can stop following daddy USA’s party line and do something, anything to differentiate themselves from America’s little gang of imperialists.

    We have done quite a few, actually. That’s my entire point.

      No, they’re questions to determine how involved you are in Western foreign policy.

      Again, I’m not talking about Latin America here. It’s a matter of debate whether Latin America is part of the West, and since I’m usually more interested in the politics than the culture I subscribe to the definition that says it doesn’t, as do most people who criticize the West in general. I mean compare Mexico with Canada in terms of foreign policy and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

        With Iran. We’re not operating here in isolation.

        But sure, if you’re interested in speaking politics, then please qualify with Western bloc. Because for all intents and purposes, we’re part of the modern West whether we want to or not.

          Here’s Wikipedia on the topic. Note that Latin America is light blue, not blue. Also Western Bloc is a cold-war term that’s not used today for the most part.
