The 2025 most influential countries in the world as rated by U.S. News, the top three are undeniably the United States, China, and Russia.
However, India at the 12th position is not satisfied. According to India's GDP ranking, it surpasses Japan and ranks fourth. Even if it cannot rank fourth in comprehensive global influence, it should not be ranked 12th. Prime Minister Modi might be very upset about this.
As for South Korea, which ranks 6th, its global influence has exceeded that of Japan and France. It seems that the United States highly values this ally. After all, does South Korea have any prominent leaders? The presidents keep getting sentenced to prison one after another, and those who end their terms with good fortune are rare.
