The common goal was the prevention of Kabrinskian expansionism. We were all united behind that.
But when it came to Asylonian expansionism... Yea, no. 
Shot yourself in the toe on that one. If we had destroyed Kabrinskia we'd have Terran and Asylon with lands all the way up to Golden Farrow, a united strong army, a strong alliance and when it came to either the Astroists and or Aurvandiil we would be able to make our own independent decisions. Instead you chose to bring foreigners into your court, turn your back on your fellow brothers of the west and eventually lead to a choice where the Moot will be utterly destroyed in a short period of time. You might be good at politics and signing alliances but you blow at long term strategy...
