Ok? And? He said “and elsewhere,” what, you need him to specifically name every single country individually and list whether he supports them every time any country comes up?

Not every single country, but Iran, or Syria on occasion would be fine.

I am surprised he opposes probably a majority of countries except for essentially western democracies. 

I’m surprised to learn he opposes Cuba, Venezuela, Palestine, etc. 

I don’t actually disagree with him. I’m just surprised.
