A North Pacific Treaty Organization composing of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong-Kong, Macao in order to combat Soviet and Chinese communism?
>>16552556Yeah more useless bureaucracy, that'll crush communism
>>16552692It actually worked . Large Military alliances are hardly useless.
>>16552556No need, after all, communists were so incompetent they collapsed on their own.
>>16552794Hows it working in ukraine
>>16552816Ukraine isn't in a military alliance, retardo.
>>16552556There was a South East Asia Treaty Organization comprising of the US, Australia, the Philippines, UK, France, Thailand and the various anti-communist satellites in Indochina, Canada also considered joining but didn't. This was the primary vehicle for allied involvement in the Vietnam war, which ultimately was a failure. IIRC after the failure of the Vietnam war it was no longer seen as effective or useful in containing communism and was dissolved in the late 70s.As for the Northern Pacific during the Korean war, there was no need, as the UN had already intervened on the side of South Korea, which most notably drew in Canada, who provided the third largest Expeditionary force (after the ROK and the US). No other state, apart from Canada, the ROK, or the US was both interested enough to join, as well as militarily relevant (Japan was demilitarized, and the ROC was still in the process of losing the Civil War). Beyond Vietnam and Korea, it is unclear where a containment alliance in the style of NATO would be useful or effective, Taiwan is off the table due to complex western relations with the PRC, India and Indonesia are doing their own thing, and Japan, Korea, Australia and New Zealand already have individual mutual defense treaties with the US.
