I was wondering, when he said "we," if he lives here or the UK.
ETA: watched it again. He says "we in the West" so I assume he means here. I don't think brits consider the UK "West," do they?

Yes, the Brits consider the UK to be "West" in terms of "Western Civilization". In fact the British count themselves as one of the creators of "Western Civilization".

I see. Kinda like Illinois is in "the midwest." Called that when we didn't know any better.
I find it pretty interesting, and somewhat vindicating of our own attitudes, if the rest of the world hates them as much as we do.

Not so much hates them as unable to have the backbone to deal with them. I call it Chamberlinism, appeasement is so much better than standing against evil.
