What countries belong to the "West"?
I'd accept Israel* and Greece.

The southern cone countries are tricky. You mean Argentina and Chile only? I guess I'd accept them too.

I'd also accept various countries in the Caribbean, which you don't specifically mention (as separate from Latin America).

The Slavic countries are also tricky. Russia's out, that's for damned sure. But the others? The Czech Republic, certainly. But it's a far cry from Serbia and Belarus, for example.

As for the others, definitely not.

* Though less so since massive, equilibrium-disturbing immigration from decidedly non-Western countries.
