I'm not missing that. My point is contextualizing the group as they try to push for reform, or potentially move to build a new order. It makes sense for them to do, but in the context of the history of the WTO/GATT and Bretton Woods institutions and why we've reached this breakdown, it's important to recognize what the group is: a contingent of Global North countries representing a very small percentage of the world population and with ongoing high levels of dependence on the US.

This is more about middle powers versus hegemons and hyperscalers. We don't have the leverage as individual nations on our own, an alliance of middle powers does when it comes to international trade and security negotiation.
