The Miracles of Realism
By ROGER COHEN
Vietnam teaches several lessons, the first of which is that the United
States can have normal relations with countries whose political
systems and ideologies it rejects.

I'm not interested in this NY Times article, only in the grammar of
its openeing sentence: " ... countries whose political systems and
ideologies it rejects"

" ... countries whose ... " ? Interesting. I thought 'who' (whom,
whose) was reserved for reference to nouns that denote people or other
animate objects.
