What is the goals of NATO and ASEAN

ASEAN isn't a military alliance like NATO. SEATO was, but it was an abject failure and none of the current governments dare attempt a repeat. ASEAN is more akin to a proto-European Union -- the difference is that the organization's current trajectory shows only weak signs of leading to future integration, and only economic integration at that, to the exclusion of the political or security spheres.
 
Why?They are not in this region. China is the only one should join ASEAN since we just acquired some brand new islands here :rofl:

ASEAN is created to confront china's expansion in scs and threaten asean members in the region.
 
ASEAN: It is a geographical entity of Asia.

NATO: I don't know if it has anything to do with Asia, since Japan and South Korea don't belong to NATO.
 
You don't expect too much from ASEAN except making money (economy).
We are bunch of weak (some are stupid) people in the region. We can't even solve some minor issue, for example those dying poor boat people that no one give a fxck.
:coffee:
 
Wow strong words yes i agree that ASEAN is a money making talk shop but again it aims to be regional union so its problem is the problem of all in the region and the individual problems of of the members are also the bloc problems. again i hate being part of ASEAN since if that union bloc came to fruition it would be hard for us for reason long to elaborate

ASEAN is not ready at the moment.
 
It will never will be as long as we have no conscious we have no unity as bloc so the Philippines us do its own

Some say ASEAN not ready, but ready for what purpose?

I think as united bloc not just to counter china but as bloc itself we have far too many baggage us and the malaysians the cambodians and the thais you guys and the malaysians etc is one we trying to be European union in Asia but it took europe a long time to make it happen most of us are new states we have limited history together and limited similarities so maybe in time but not now its too soon
 
ASEAN formed to provide room or space for southeast asian country to find common ground and build sphare of peace, stability and prosperity based on common interest with each member. Without ASEAN, there will be constant agitation and suspicion beetwen each countries in this region, without way to settle the issue in peaceful and constructive manner.

For me, ASEAN is a success story.

A free-trade zone.

The reason it is not yet ready because some country, such as the Philippines, haven't lessen the restrictions to the economy.

If you are an investor, would you invest in a country where you only have 40% of control (and profits)?

Ya but ASEAN has no unity for things like that and the problems in ASEAN is evidence of that fact
 
With this type of thinking, you wouldn't achieve anything :coffee:
