As some readers may be aware of the most recent developments in the EU with Greece suffering from a financial crisis, it is actually hurting the European Union.
Readers can read here on the impact Greece's problems have had on the Euro.
I'm not trying to be negative towards Greece or it's presence in the EU, after all it could have happened from any country.
The point I'm trying to make is when you form a union, you can get benefits and you can get setbacks.
But when one country seems to have a setback, it's a serious problem for the entire union.
Sure trade and political agreements and even military agreements are beneficial. But an entire union with a common currency?
Other setbacks for such unions are the freedom of nationals to travel into another country at their own free will. For Europe, it slowly seems to be having a negative impact, but for Asia it would be a disaster.
Countries with larger populations and poverty will have the freedom to send their citizens anywhere in an Asian union.
A common union just allows countries to surrender a significant part of their sovereignty to one another and pay the price for the downfall of one country.
It also allows one leadership to expand it's authority. I clearly say no to unions of any kind, especially those modeled after the EU. I had opposed this long before Greece's financial crisis and still oppose it.
