Until now, the term « rogue state » was referring to states that were enemies of American democracy. Like Iran and the ayatollahs, North Korea and its ballistic missiles, Venezuela and its dictatorship. Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya and Saddam Hussein’s Iraq were also among them. All States which were enemies of Democracy. The term had gained attraction and was adopted by Westerners and their public opinions.
But since America is no longer a true democracy, given all the threats to civil rights in the United States, Westerners public opinions are now compiling another list : the list of the rogues states belonging to the Second* Reactionary International, the black right-wing association, whose ultimate references are Hitler (such a shame he couldn’t get along with Stalin) and all his turpitudes. They confuse : strong state (tyrannical), with : firm state (that stands solid in its ways and means).
No need to gather them all in Washington in a big mass. They are all known and cited as good pupils in the annual report to the American Congress. They are also very easy to recognize : Donald Trump is making great business with them.
On the American continent, in addition to the United States, there are Javier Milei’s Argentina and Nayib Bukele’s El Salvador. In Europe, there are Fuck-his-name‘s Russia, Victor Orban’s Hungary, and Roberto Fico’s Slovakia. In the Middle East, Benyamin is the poodle of the United states and member of the club (although Jewish, yes it’s paradoxal because Hitler was not exactly the BFE -best friend ever- of the Jews) but he has to do tons of good will.
For the sake of all his cronies, Donald Trump or his shadow are ready to roll with the punches.
