rogue states

[Michael]

the consensus here at my office is that before 'rogue
states' was used, it was either 'terrorist states' or
'the radical entente', the former being seen much more
often than the latter.

best,
michael

Dear Dialect Society -

I'm hoping someone can help - we are  looking for predecessor terms to the
phrase "rogue states."

What were the catch phrases from past decades used to lump together outlaw
nations?

Appreciate any help you can give
