Do you also think its time for a North East Asian Union against Americas and Chinas Influence?

[RussiaPrussia]

Russia, Korea and Japan are all isolated in global politics without an independent voice unlike the EU, China and America. Russia has maybe some saying in middle east but it lacks power in asia.

Population
321.098 Million People similar to America (314) and the Eurozone (333)

Economy

GDP would be 9.1 Trillion Dollars above china while the Eurozone has 12.2 Trillion Dollars.

And the gdp per capita would be 28.35 thousand dollars which that of a developed country still despite having russia in it. The eurozone has 36 thousand dollars. And there would still be room to grow for russia and korea.

In Purchasing power the gap becomes even smaller to the Eurozone with only 11.9 trillion dollar economy and a gdp per capita of 33 thousand dollars for very european. While the north east asian union would have 9.4 Trillion and a living standard of 29.2 thousand dollars for every person and again there is room for all 3 to grow in purchising power even japan which has very low purchasing power in comparison to its nominal gdp.

Resources

together with russia north east asians have access to all the siberian recources. All 3 can complement each other in their economic field. Japan is strong in investment and finance as well as technology, korea is stronger in manufacturing while russia has the resources. If all 3 trade in their own currency they could boost their value and be less dependent on US dollars especially russian recourse which improves all 3 currencies as global reserve currencies with trading. So basically the countries dont compete that much with each other if they would be in a union with china or the US for example. There is only competition with korea and japan but russia can rely more on resources and doesnt need to be a manufacturing powerhouse like japan to be rich.

Technology and manufacturing

Manufacturing would be 1.656 trillion dollars its not far away from the US and china and russia has still potential to grow in that segment as there is a lot of soviet technology left which can be invested into. Automotive production for example would be 16.732 Million cars which is not far away from china and even more than the US. And again there is room to grow for russia. Not to mention about all the korean and japanese electronic and other manufacturing brands along strong russian military industrial complex which are all established.

Agriculture

With russian land and japanese and korean farmers, north east asians could try to grow food on russian land and establish a huge agriculture powerhouse in the union. This would bring a lot of food security for all 3.

Military and Geopolitics

The union would have the largest army in the world thanks to korean and russia troops. Russian military is already very strong thanks to industrial complex with korea and japanese technology all 3 could establish very advanced weapons.
also Russia spends almost as much as korea and japan together plus them the union would replace china in military spending. And again there is still room to grow if the other two would also spend 4% of their gdp into arms like russia to something like 500 billion.


Expansion and balance
Mongolia and Northkorea could also join one day. The good thing about this union would be that all members are equall in population. Japan and russia arent that different in population and korea is making something like 40% which could be more with north korea together while russia is the poorest member which makes it even. if china for instance would be in that kind of union with 1.3 billion people which some people proposed, this union would be extremely unbalanced with korea and japan being much smaller so more china grows. The US is also not a small country anymore with twice and a half people more than japan and being much more developed than japan.
