The permanent members of the UNSC are the countries that were the most powerful at the end of World War II, not the countries that are most significant in the present day.

...and? What does that have to do with the current discussion?

You are partially correct but by and large the UNSC members are the key levers globally.

Regardless, the UNSC comment was to indicate that Russia is very much considered a peer of the USA. If they are not to be compared/contrasted then the debate is meaningless.
