- There were many errors in this article. While most non-aligned countries were third world, not all of the third world was non-aligned. Vietnam was a third world country, for example, as is North Korea. The term itself was faulty. In fact, when the USSR collapsed, one could say that many Soviet bloc countries were in essence third world. Much of Cold War era competition was for third world resources, as we see right now in Niger.
- The Penguin citation, if that is indeed what the original text in Penguin says, should be removed. RobSGive Peace a Chance! 12:37, August 30, 2023 (EDT)
