GDP PPP: Russian GDP per capita at 25k $, Germany is richer than Sweden, China bigger GDP than EU

Russians are going to need a lot more of those mobile crematoriums if they want to try again. What is it with Indians being so submissive towards Russians? I have seen this sort of comments from many Indians.

Pathetic especially when many of those same people think that India is a great power... if you want to lick Putlers boots you are free to do so but don't expect that other people want take orders from "masters".

I don't see Finland here (never mind) , defeat the Russian guys just invade them.

What a load of crap, I know a few Scandinavians and they almost all earn very highly and are only young (mid 20's) and have been earning decent money since late teens, and a few of them never even went to university. The average Russian is probably 10 times poorer in real terms than someone from Sweden.

It's called wealth distribution, if it weren't for that exact thing Russia would be one of the world's largest economies right now. (before the communist took over Russia was projected to overtake the u.s.a as the world's largest economy in the 1930s)
Russia with it's current market has a bright future if they can overcome any reliance on the west (which they are doing now) Sweden is running out of other people's money to take and it's immigrants are running wild raping women and rioting.
In addition you severely overstate Sweden's wealth (Norway with it's oil perhaps but not Sweden) the average westerner has maybe 3 times more, if they are lucky.

Never underestmate the finns, they are a tough bunch even today.

Wrong statistics made for propaganda.See this Wikipedia link for the correct ones
Winter War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the end it was the soviets who won and fins lost their territory.

The time of Mannerheim is long gone. Scandinavians are now lily livered people, where murderers and terrorists live in resorts.

I met plenty of finns and they are no doubt not tough looking as the Russians.And i have been with one finnish girl and oh my god her feminine hygiene was terrible
Though can,t say the same about all Finnish women.

The Finns lost a small of territory (Karelia and Vyborg), the sovs lost close to one million men (this is well documented).
And if you don't believe me I'll quote a Soviet general "we gained just enough territory to bury our dead"
Wikipedia is never a perfect source (I just posted the meme to make a point) and in the end Finland remained an independent state instead of being conquered.

If China applies the 2008 SNA same as the new US standard, then you will see that China can quickly surpass the US even in term of the nominal GDP.

I think China will announce the new standard in the nominal GDP accounting in the late of this year or next year if no later.

BTW, Russia has the largest land and resources in the world, so I don't think that anyone can underestimate its potential as well.
