ASEAN needs an Alpha male to set the rules for everyone to rally to.
Now, If Indonesia & Vietnam became the Alpha male then we are going to get fuck!

Not anymore. In a few decades because Christians are taking over Indonesia.

Not going to happen because I predict Indonesians will resist and declare holy war.
@zexsy
who do you think Indonesians will side with? us or their fellow muslims?
@zexsy
Indonesia is a pluralists country

the 1945 Constitution. Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" (Unity in Diversity),
Cambodians & Vietnamese hate each other,
Laos hates Thailand.
Malays & Indonesian despite both are Muslim have a love and hate relationship.

Europeans have put their differences aside, If they can pull it off so can ASEAN.
@zexsy
Germany and France set the model for the rest of E.U to follow and the E.U had a common enemy to unite under, which was the Soviet Union at that time.
For ASEAN, the only countries that are anti-China are Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia while the rest of the ASEAN countries are more of a neutral state.
@zexsy
In my opinion, it's only us who are open-minded with different cultures. most of the intercontinental southeast Asians like the Vietnamese & Cambodians are very nationalistic to care about unity.
@j-r-c
Cambodians and Vietnamese have a territorial dispute so it will be a difficult problem to solve through dialogue.
Asean Unity is realistic but under Federation rules
A federation (also known as a federal state) is a political entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing provinces, states, or other regions under a central federal government (federalism).
Asean members have a common goal to unite to enhance the
economy
cultural exchanges
transportation
market share
military & political power
technology.
@zexsy
UN Laws are not enforced and nothing gets done. it's the same for ASEAN, nothing get's really done.
South east asia is united under ASEAN, DUH
