Not in a legal or dictionary sense.

quote:

According to Hill, Thomas asked her out socially many times during her two years of employment as his assistant, and, after she declined his requests, he used work situations to discuss sexual subjects. "He spoke about ... such matters as women having sex with animals and films showing group sex or rape scenes," she said, adding that on several occasions Thomas graphically described "his own sexual prowess" and the details of his anatomy. Hill also recounted an instance in which Thomas examined a can of Coke on his desk and asked, "Who has put pubic hair on my Coke?"

Third world referred to countries outside the spheres of influence of the two global superpowers. First world was US and its sphere, second world was USSR and its sphere. Third world was outside the sphere/nonaligned in which the two other spheres competed for resource exploitation.

i'd say a country is the first or second world if they are not in the sphere of influence of the "other" superpower. for example, the second world was the countries that the US could not...influence. blockade, invade, trade with, support one presidential candidate over another. does "sphere of influence" have some more precise definition i'm not aware of?

"Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"
Trump is abandoning/actively sabotaging America's status as a superpower. Which, again, is something that should've been happening *gradually* since the end of the (first) Cold War - not at the alarmingly fast rate and as haphazardly as it's happening now.

"Pax Americana" has been little more than an impediment to any meaningful progress toward a greater unifying of nations. The EU had a shot, but their reliance/need for NATO to bolster their defense always ensured that they were never going to be fully self-sufficient. The petrodollar system ensured the global addiction to oil was never going to end before damage to the our place in the ecosystem was inevitable and irreversible. And that's just *two* ways that America remaining the sole superpower has hosed up societal progress.

The US is on track to become another Russia if poo poo keeps going as it is. Russia's not a superpower anymore, they're a gangster junta with nukes, and their biggest success story is that they managed to bring down the US with social media trolling.
