Since is far from it.
A tendency of nations to conduct their foreign affairs individualistically, characterized by minimal consultation and involvement with other nations, even their allies.

Well, maybe this "little kid" can teach you a few things.
You've been arguing that a "science project" cannot be construed as "foreign affairs" (despite the fact that any time foreign countries discuss anything they are having international relations, but I'm sure you have a specific and narrow definition for "international" as well). I've long since accepted your ridiculously narrow definition in order to demonstrate your clear hypocrisy.
I'm not sure why you're zeroing in on "foreign affairs". Do you mean to say that all "foreign affairs" are unilateral? If so, then the most important part of your definition is "foreign affairs", the superfluous other words need to be deleted, and you may be the most linguistically challenged adult I've ever met (if you are an adult).
No, dear student, those other words mean something and they are there for a reason. They serve to qualify a certain type of foreign affairs - the type where ONE country acts "individualistically" and with "minimal consultation and involvement with other nations". If either of these qualifications are absent, if the country in question acts with others or consults extensively with others, then the qualification fails and the definition does not apply.
Though the Iraq invasion does qualify as "foreign affairs", it fails as a "unilateral action".
