I’m not sure I agree that the “west” is a monolithic bloc re: the general population vs shareholders/CEOs. Especially not in the current wave of popularism.

Also, from the HN guidelines - “ Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.” (And I definitely agree when it is some anecdote like this)

I guess you haven't read the Forbes article.

The west is pretty much a monolithic bloc when it comes to foreign policy towards China, Middle-East & Africa. A great example of that is the current events in Syria.

You can also have a look at UN resolutions and try to see a pattern.

NATO is also pretty good definition of the west with the exception of Turkey, even though missing few countries (like Finland and Sweden).
