yeah, its an alliance with no real teeth.

From a military standpoint its not great. Add on that there's no possibility of any kind of rapid response capabilities here.

From a geographical standpoint I don't think it makes sense.

From an intelligence standpoint, it would be decent, but without the sharing from the US its second rate.

Even from an economic standpoint, we've seen how quickly China can effect the economies of an alliance like that.

For a true bloc to work and gain advantage it really needs to be anchored by a super power with global reach.


Would we still stay a part of NATO and NORAD. If we went strictly with this the military spending for all of those nations would have to dramatically increase. As would spending on intelligence gathering capabilities.
