They're the ones that have been either bombed back to the stone-age, suffer crippling sanctions or brought back under heel via coup d'etat - the preferred method.

Politics is simply the chess board of wealth (re)distribution.
War is non-consentual politics (by other means)
The system is rotten to the core, and getting worse.
