Remember Russia is but a shadow of its former, USSR, form. The terms were coined during the Cold War and we did need a strong enemy to oppose back then.
I seem to remember that lesson from PolySci 101. It is dated now, but the 3rd World tag has stuck. The 2nd World label is passe now. Not many commies about now to pin it on. Time for a new set of labels…..Free and not Free? Fat and Rich or Poor and Ignorant?
