One thing unites the three great powers [...]

The article never explicitly and unambiguously identifies these "three great powers."

Rather, it refers to the U.S. and China as "superpowers," and also coyly mentions Russia, so I suppose that we - the readers - are intended to accept that Russia is likewise a "great power."

But insofar as this article is about Eurobonds and economics - and not nuclear armaments - what justification is there for including Russia in this elite club?

By most economic metrics, Russia should be positioned at about NINTH PLACE.

Russia should be compared to Mexico

The article never explicitly and unambiguously identifies these "three great powers."

Well, it sure isn't referring to Great Britain, France, or Germany. Militarily and economically they are toothless eunuchs. Self inflicted castration.
