A very mature and worldly 8 yr old.
random thought...
Many people, including GEOTUS Trump, keep using the term “third-world country” in relation to current political dealings.
Lots of parroting on that but, when you think about it (OK, I think about it...) there is an element missing from the USA \actually\ being a ‘third-world’ government.
Third-world despots use their military to enforce fiat laws and >more importantly< impose the ‘party’ line and narrative.
Military is the only way.
