I wonder if it helps the UK left the EU, somehow I feel the commonwealth countries want to belong to the rest of ‘the west’ but also don’t want to be too close to London either. If that’s true, that’s another Brexit benefit for the non-brits.
Aside from CPTPP, Five Eyes, AUKUS, Australia signing the first free trade agreement after Brexit?
Most people don’t seem to know what ‘third world’ actually mean. Back in the days of the cold war, the ‘first world’ was the US and its allies (NATO), the ‘second world’ was the USSR and its allies (Warsaw Pact), and the ‘third world’ was every other bugger. At that time, the third world was mostly economically poor and pre-industrialized countries.
So, perhaps it’s time to revive the original meaning, and have all of Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand (and anyone else who wants to join us - Africa, South America, you guys in?) proclaim loud and proud that we are all third world countries!
Why don’t we all join NAM instead
This is interesting. The EU… with a stretch.
