LAW’s Thoughts, Concerns, and Fears about Today’s Nuclear World and beyond . . .
Donald Trump is rapidly turning the USA into a 3rd World country with his constant war-mongering attempt to accomplish whatever visions of supremacy he has dancing in his twisted head . . . This is not now the U.S. operates these days as his errant attacks on other countries are warlike instead of diplomatic. Our country cannot continue to tolerate a madman and his hand-picked cabinet and White House staff who are, to a man or woman, intentionally beyond their qualifications . . .
The definition of a 3rd Word country is, with the exception it is o longer outdated, explaining what the term means:
A “Third World country” is an outdated term from the Cold War for nations not aligned with the US (First World) or Soviet (Second World) blocs, now generally used, though problematically, to mean less economically developed countries (LDCs) with high poverty, economic instability, and lower human development indicators like health and education. Modern, preferred terms include “developing countries,” “low-income countries,” or by using specific metrics from organizations like the UN or World Bank, as the original classification is considered inaccurate and offensive.
Historical Definition (Cold War Era)
This definition fits Trump’s agenda to a “T” because he lives to reshape the USA into nothing more than a helpless “developing country” that can be ruled by a King, Emperor, or a Dictator. And the “spoils” of war are all meant to be — in his mind — his personal financial fortune. He is the “laughing stock” of the peaceful countries of the world and the raging “fearmonger” of all of them, including ourselves. ~llaw
