3rd world country = Any nation that takes aid from USA and it's leaders become gazzillionaires overnight. The nation continues to suffer, since no money filters through. Yet, the USA continues self promote on world forums about how much aid it gives these nations, at the same time winning votes at UN from these minor nations to form a 'coalition of the willing'.

Ridiculous MAP, double standards, Moldova / Ukraine are not third world countries? then those who drew this map should go there see with their own eyes what is happening there.

I'd even add Romania, Bulgaria, EX-Yugoslavian states & even Slovakia in third world countries.

One must go there & see with their own eyes, to distinguish. Stupid statistics.
