SCO should be expanded to form a NATO like alliance to maintain peace and security in developing world, and BRICS bank a direct rival against IMF. That should keep out western hegemony from Asia.
@
Chinese-Dragon Your take on this?
What is the use of having another NATO policing around the world's nations? SCO is better off as a regional security treaty among the member countries.
Except for NATO exercised invasions, no other country would be 'invaded' WW2 style. These days, non-state actors and mercenaries are going to do the wars and problems like ISIS will be the new platform for problems. No structured attack. Just well coordinated, loosely-knit anarchy based attacks designed to do maximum public/property damage.
Even Russia has a CSTO which runs in parallel to SCO. It is unlikely that if Uzbekistan is invaded, all the other stans, Russia and China will send their troops in to protect it. Especially if it is NATO attacking them for their rich resources to 'bring democracy'.
In NATO's case, even if you invade a tiny Luxembourg, entire western European NATO countries, US, Canada, Turkey everyone will pounce on you.
To achieve that, you need a single command structure, a standard ROE and SOP and a unified military body like SCO military command.
The front-ending champions here of the group are China and Russia. Rest of them cannot contribute much to the alliance unlike Germany, UK, Sweden, Finland and occasionally France who have their own powerful military industrial complex.
With due respect to all the countries in Central Asia, I am not undermining their capability. Just stating that the threat perception is different in that part of the world.
