    Thanks for that clarification.

    However, I’m still not quite sure how they came up with the “We’re the top <insert number here> most powerful countries” claim, since it has always been so arrogant to me.

    Also, how do they even choose which countries would be included in the club? For example, would Indonesia or the Philippines be part of a hypothetical G50? Why?

        A cynical bit of me thinks all the other countries know Moscow is a paper tiger, and so taking “the right side” of things becomes politically convenient. True to dictator fashion, any show of weakness is poison.
