Hmmm, that seems intelligent. One of the most wildy divergent areas of the globe with no common culture, language or economics all banding together for the express purpose of standing up to the United States in global influence. Almost sounds childish. Maybe this will start a global "see who can make the biggest political entity" race. So maybe China, Korea, Japan should band together, and maybe Canada the U.S. and Mexico should get together. For what purpose and benefit I have no idea. Bragging rights I guess.
