> but some of the biggest economies in the world do not want to trade with 4 countries from the 3rd world,

It's this attitude that makes non-Europeans (especially those of us without European heritage) less sympathetic to European pleas of support, yet it's your politicians that try to sign a defense pacts with "third world countries" like India [0]

You should understand what the term "third-world" means. It is not the synonym for a "developing country", let alone "shithole country".

You and I both know in what context they used that statement. Enjoy getting offshored.

Offence is taken, not given. I think it's an overreaction trying to find something to get offended about, instead of seeing the essence of what the parent was trying to clumsily say.
