Nuclear Weapons for Japan?
The Japan Times had a story running this morning - LDP policy chief calls for debate on nuke option. This would be one outcome that I imagine the North Koreans hadn’t considered prior to their test. Japan has the technology and the fuel to build a nuclear weapon - with some pundits suggesting that as little as one week would be necessary to get a bomb built. With Japan being the worlds’ only victim of a nuclear strike this would be a pretty huge move, and is likely to garner a great deal of opposition internally, and from neighbours China and South Korea.
LDP policy chief calls for debate on nuke option
Kyodo NewsJapan needs to discuss whether it should go nuclear in response to North Korea’s declared nuclear test, the policy chief of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party said Sunday.
Shoichi Nakagawa, chairman of the LDP’s Policy Research Council, made the contentious comment on a TV Asahi talk show, saying the Constitution does not rule out the option of possessing nuclear arms.
