Get your facts right sir. This meeting is a nuclear summit. Obama is meeting with leaders of major world economies on the side. He met with China's president yesterday. (BTW Obama's wife travelled to China last week).
When UN security council voted to condemn cremia annexation, China did not join Russia to veto it. China and Russia always vote in tandem at the UN security council.
The plan is to isolate Russia from international comnunity. So far it is working and the rest of the world will avoid Putin like the plague.

Too many, its just a talking shop meant to boost the ego of non-G7 .

Oh please

If Kenya invaded Burundi, there would be no military intervention from the USA because Americans are war fatigued and most want America to mind its own business.. Does that make Kenya a superpower ?

The real reason the EU cannot take stern action against Russia is not because Russia is a superpower. It is because their economies are intertwined. Germany imports 40% of its natural gas from Russia. In turn German companies sell billions of Euro of machinery, pharmaceuticals and other items to Russia. Imposing harsh sanctions would mean cutting their own nose to spite their face.

The truth is that Russia is a decaying country with delusions of being a power. Heck even Brazil has a higher GDP than Russia which for all its reputation, does not manufacture anything worthwhile. All their money comes from extracting minerals.

My good friend, keep your panties on tafadhali. I did not say superpower - I said world power. Kukusaidia, France and Germany are world powers. They are not superpowers.

Look, there isnt enough space here to school you on the complexities of geopolitics but due to my commitment to selfless public service, wacha nijaribu. First, I am not in an argument on whether Russia is stronger than the US/EU or has a better quality of life. I suspect some of the emotional knee-jerk reactions here are because people are taking statements assessing Russia capability on anything and projecting it on US/EU capability. The reasons for this conflation are perplexing.

POINT 1 - The US/EU are far stronger than Russia in numerous respects GDP included. But EU/US capability is not mutually exclusive with Russia's capability. Nikikusaidia kidogo tena, if I say France has nuclear weapons, it does not mean I am saying India has no nuclear weapons. If I say South Korea has a large GDP, it does not mean I am saying Japan has a smaller GDP. If I say Russia's military is number 2 worldwide, it does not mean I am saying the US is number 50. Tunaelewana papi?

POINT 2 - Being a world power is a combination of military strength, economic strength and geopolitical global/regional influence. The mistake you are making is assuming the whole world is defined by one equation: GDP strength = Geopolitical strength or Quality of life = Geopolitical strength

- Qatar, Singapore and Switzerland have stratospheric per capita GDPs but no one in the world really cares for their opinion when making serious global decisions
- China's per capita GDP may be far lower than Mauritius but you can be sure the US does not give a f*ck what Mauritius thinks on the conflict in Syria

POINT 3 - Capital flight does not necessarily negate geopolitical capability. More Chinese (than Russians) are investing and/or buying citizenship in the US, Canada and UK. Such departure has zero impact on China's growing geopolitical influence.

CONCLUSIONS
- Russia is a world power for several reasons including military strength (number 2 in the world), essential natural resources (gas/oil) and a $2T economy. It could be a basket case in many other respects including quality of life or capital flight. But much as even I hate to admit, it is a world power today nevertheless. It could be declining but that is another debate.

- Russia's profile means decisions to punish it are difficult. Your point on EU/Russia trade actually affirm its status as a world power. Economic sanctions though effective could have unintended consequences on the global economy - sanctions on any $1T+ economy will have significant consequences on the world economy. President Obama and Chancellor Merkel have admitted as much so it is amusing to see mwafrikas in distant lands chest thumping otherwise.

- If Kenya invades and annexes Burundi, there will be too many easy options on the table. Just like has happened for CAR, Mali and Libya, UK/US/France/NATO/UN will not think twice about military action or unleashing crippling economic sanctions. In fact, 1000 special ops and a dozen bomb drops would be sufficient to crush our tiny armies this side of the world. Interestingly, our only respite in such a situation would be a UNSC veto by a world power (US/UK/France/China/Russia) or military support from a world power (as Russia is doing in Syria).

@innairobi usijaribu kupingana na Hollywood/western media reinforced googles, those things are more powerful than those tu nuclear bombs the us or russia has.
