First of all, you have zero understand of how political union work, you have to be because you think ASEAN is an Political union. Political Union is not just focus on economic cooperation, but a share of defence responsibility as well. In EU, there are something called EU battlegroup which one country will station troop on another for "Cooperative Defence" And something ASEAN and SAARC is lacking.
Second of all, EU formed on the back foot of European Community, which based on the European Movement International established in 1947 after the WW2. The philosophy is that it seek to provide a structure to encourage and facilitate the active participation of citizens and civil society organisations in the development of a united Europe.
European Movement International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EU is the basic Idea that European have to be remain united on the premises that incident like WW2 will not ever happened again in Europe. By bonding together, it become harder to break. Economic Cooperation in that stage is not a consideration.
I am not saying EU was form without consideration of Economic partnership, but unlike what you said, EU is not simply an organisation that transformed from and Economic Union into a supranational institution. Quite contrary, EU is the other way around, it was a supranational institution and later focus and emphasis on Economic Cooperation.
Thirdly and lastly, I never said NEAU can never be able to establish. I have already said some post ago you can form a Union with whoever you like in this world. The problem is, how and what it give to the other entity? What I said was the reason to form the NEAU is as flimsy as you go form a South East Asian Union, I have already expressed my point at post #272. I am not going to reiterate it again.
And the same is to you,
I am not the one that reply to your post in the first place, in fact, it was you who replied to mine at #272 first, if you have a problem on what I said, then Why can't you be a silent reader like everybody else? And if you don't know what "8 Chi" mean, please drop your Hong Kong Flag as no way you are a Hong Konger.
lol, let me tell you who have no moral high ground,
YOU.
You first accuse of US bombing Civilian without warning. Then after that being exposed as a lies, you shift the focus to 9/11 never happened. Then you got countered by a point that the Japanese have been doing the same in WW2, and now you said Japanese does not kill their own?
By the way, you portrait like you are a Japanese, but no Japanese or people who respect the Japanes would use the word "JAPS" in his post.
So, let me conclude this discussion with you, you have been lying, cheating, and now you are not even certain where did you stand in this discussion, that make you the last person in this forum to preach about "Moral High Ground"
And in the end, as I said in my alast few post,
I NEVER EVER SAID the US IS ON A MORAL HIGHGROUND EITHER, just that people who li
ve in grass house should not throw stone. If you cannot get what I meant, then too bad. Because my post is simply exposing you as a pathetic liar with zilch moral. And I did, so I am not going to interact with you anymore.
