Why is Russia considered 2nd World?

If they are so militarized and somewhat modern like USA, why is it considered Second World? is it because le science decided so? I'm just really confused since Russia can be considered advanced.

You should read what the definition of first and second world means

First world means capitalism
Second world means communism
Third world means irrelevant

>tfw 3rd world

Because the terminology came out of the Cold War era

1st world was capatlism, 2nd world was communism

3rd world was Africa and South America

In the modern context I would probably change it to mean something with HDI or general stability/quality of life

Which would put Most of Europe and the pacific rim and North America as first world, potentially even parts of Russia and Mexico and china could be considere 1st word at this point especially the big cities

2nd world would be like he Middle East,India, North Africa probably the balkans and most of Russia and China South Africa, Brazil and Columbia etc

3rd word would be sub Saharan Africa, Central America and the Caribbean, North Korea, maybe like Southeast Asia - Vietnam and the cities etc.

Oh also I think chile has achieved 1st world status, Argentina is sort of just shy of first world status

This.
Thats what happens when people use 3rd world incorrectly for decades.

But this map doesn't fall under classic definition.

God damn you're an idiot

This map is bullshit. Ukraine is not better than Chile.

Ask about salaries in Syberia or Eastern Russia

Then cuba should be second, chile was communist in the 70, how iceland is relevant? real map

>Ukraine is not better than Chile.
Well it's a Russian oblast, so it kinda is better off.

It's a cold war definition. Do you need a helper monkey to use jewgle?

>UAE third world
>Greece first world

People who work in natural resources businesses there (gas,oil,gold,wood etc) earn very good nowadays.

Wait. Greenland (aka Denmark) is third world?

yes because other sectors are hopelessly backward and uncompetitive due to government policies

Putin has increased govt control of economy from less than 40% of GDP to over 70% which is a recipe for declining inefficiency and competitiveness

if Kremlin fails to enact structural reforms (which they are afraid to do because of political consequences) Russia will fall behind even some Latin American countries within a decade.

Would picrelated be considered 1 world if communism never happened?
How strong would be the currency?

Turkey is first world and the Czechs aren't? What?

Poland has the lv of Portugal just like Turkey and Greece, one of the Baltic states is fine, can't remember which one, and Czech is fine too, from South America Argentina and Chile can go to the second world tier maybe Uruguay too

How would you control oligarchy?
They refused to invest even in oil businesses up until middle of 2000s, when government supervising was effectively reinstated.

Yes, it is ineffective, but at least some capital is being redistributed within the nation and some foreign technologies are coming in.

There would be some fascists lunatics in power now if Putin did not do those steps.

Who are you who do not know your history?

The first world is the US, NATO, and allies.

The second world is the USSR, Warsaw Pact, and allies.

The third world are non-aligned nations and non-industrialized allies.

> Average salary is $500
> 10+ million people """live""" beyond "poverty line"

1st World meant allied with NATO.

2nd world meant a member of the Warsaw Pact.

3rd world was non-allied with either NATO or Warsaw Pact.

Takes less than 10 seconds to do your own God damn research.

people live like shit
no infrastructure
nothing besides communism

You mean Estonia most likely. They utilise their location between Scandinavia, Central Europe and Russia to get the best deals. Certain gas and ship building companies in Russia, Finland and Germany benefit greatly from this cooperation too.

>Turkey
>first world

kek's a little.

>nu-/pol
>research

You know that 1st 2nd and 3rd world bullshit is basically what allegiance had the countries during cold war right?

3rd world means neutral in fact.

First world - USA and allies
Second world - USSR and allies
Third world - Everyone else..

fuck, then post the map of the cold war not the map of the wealth or human development index or whatever is that, here u have the world according to the cold war, AND the cold war end 25 years ago and the term is used 4 other things now

...

> greenland
> third world
Why exactly, though.

Wouldn't Greenland be a first world country because they are in Denmark's dominion

Spain confirmed for third world country

North Korea can build nukes, submarines and satellites. Can Mexico do any of that shit? Or North Africa and South America? Just because they have a better standard of living from gibmedats doesn't mean they're more advanced.

As long as we r not with Germany Sweden or Merica I'm ok

>Ukraine
>Second World
>Same tier as czechy
@LMAO

>according to map Albania is 1st world country
What did they mean by this?

It's only used for other things incorrectly

>AND the cold war end 25 years ago and the term is used 4 other things now
Yes, because people assumed 3rd world meant low development/GDP. Pic related indicates members of different alliances, and the allies of those alliances who would pledge to help if needed in their hemisphere of the globe, however the definition has since changed because the general public thought 1st world meant highly developed and 3rd world meant poorly developed in the 80s and 90s, and no one teaches the original definitions anymore since the Cold War ended and anti-Russia bashing isn't as common as it used to be.

Maybe it is about Human Capital?Freedom to utilise you skills in the domestic and international economy?

There nearly 4 times as many murders per capita in Russia than the USA. Average Russian is as murderous as a basketball american nigger.

First world is capitalism
Second world is communism
Third world is developing countries

Technically Russia is fourth world country because it's non developing. It's economy is shrinking and population is decreasing.

The US set up an air base there (Project Iceworm iirc) as per Denmark's permission. It technically wasn't considered an ally since it wasn't a sovereign nation (under Denmark's domain) and to say it was allied with it's population at the time would've just been a gesture rather than a commitment.

Most of the murders are either incidental or domestic violence. Criminal origins have absolute minority.

Although, since Denmark was a de facto member you could argue that by ownership, Greenland was a NATO ally, albeit indirectly.

That's getting awfully wishy-washy. Plenty of third world dumps have open markets and easy emigration. North Korea, for all of its failings, is still a modern industrialized society with a secular government and an economy capable of producing tech that far richer countries cannot.

>Why is Russia considered 2nd World?
A terrible mistake indeed. We here are 3rd world.

>american educa...
ok, some of you burgers aren't retarded

Russia is like a giant Kansas. Mostly impoverished with lots of yokels, some big cities with amenities, and a government that's broken.

1st world referred to allies of the US during the "cold war", 2nd world referred to Russian allies or communists, 3rd world was everone elsee.

I think North Koreans get their tech base from China and China gets it from Russia.

I doubt that people in NK through their education are being developed enough to actually invent and create something themselves which will give them opportunity to fairly compete with other nations. Would NASA order rocket engines from it? I doubt it.

Same logic can be applied to general skills or work culture. Will North Korean engineer if given the choice to leave the country be able to compete with others without additional support? Only after years of training.

You are second world now tho.

Sounds like Krasnodar region on the South of Russia. Do you guys also export lots of oil or coal? Grain?

Bump

Ireland, Switzerland, Austria and Finland are all 3rd world.

>turkroaches

Then it's fucking retarded and has no meaning outside of pure arbitration
