Japan's new top diplomat calls 'Asian NATO' an idea for the future
- downrightmike 2y agoAATO would be first in the phonebook
- getwiththeprog 2y agoI think it would be ATO, Asian Treaty Org
- bbor 2y agoHeartwarming, love to see it! I know China is guilty of various evils, but I don’t think the bluster and adversarial worldview popular in the USA right now is doing anyone any favors. Especially in such a fragile time for the world… Restricting it to “East Asia” seems like a missed opportunity, but I guess I’m not sure a) where Japan considers East Asia to end, and b) if that was directly translated. For one thing, Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia seem like powerful and feasible military allies On the other hand, EATO would be awfully fun to say.
