Sorry for pointing this out everywhere, but the new countries are invited, not yet members. Not all of them might accept.

I always loved India. Sad to see them in an alliance with Russia and China

They're going down a dangerous path with Modi and the rise of religious violence and sectarianism.

They'd be even better if they stopped electing that piece of shit Modi.

They admire Russia and feel a bit in debt with them because Russia invested a lot and helped them out both militarily and economically. The mere English language and tea export was probably not enough.

A bit misleading since Argentina at least isn't a member yet, just invited, and top presidential runners are rejecting membership.

How exactly are Saudi Arabia and Iran going to be in an alliance with each other? Don’t they hate each other? They only just reestablished diplomatic relations of any kind after having none for seven years

Probably the same way India and the PRC are in this "alliance", i.e. barely.
