I’m sure Korea, China, the Philippines, Australia, Indonesia etc… are all thrilled with that idea.

Basically the argument for any country is we want to deter people so we need to have them to deter. Which is fair. On the flip side the more people who have them the more chances there are for something stupid to happen.
I can get why someone wants them as a source of security, and that is probably the feeling for alot of countries. I would not be suprised if alot more countries try to get there hands on them in the next few years, having a few nukes does allow for a great deterrent to even a super power.

I mean the failure of things like the Budapest memorandum to preserve the territorial integrity of non nuclear states from nuclear armed states makes it so any non nuclear power that has a dispute with a nuclear armed neighbor is going to want nuclear weapons.
For example Pakistan is at a major disadvantage compared to India in terms of economy, population, et cetera, but Pakistan has nukes so it doesn’t really have to worry about being invaded.

This is what happened when the US gets taken over by a Lunatic
This is also why America used to be happy being the military top dog.. and helping to protect its allies
Do Americans really think its previous allies are just going to sit still and not stock up on WMD for its protection?

Japans constitution forbids it. That said they are a threshold nation that could them anytime it chose to. Telling people is posturing, doing so would be done quietly and quickly with the world being told after the fact.

Yep. Russia has triggered this and the lack of response from the so called Western leaders simply solidified it. If you don’t have nuclear weapons, your national security is forever at risk from the so called super powers who already possess nuclear weapons, because the rest of the world will always chicken out, no matter what papers you sign.

Welcome to the world trump built. I expect most of the world to get nuclear weapons over the next 30 years. With the USA no longer a reliable ally, it’s every country for itself.

Countries aren’t trusting US anymore. They do what are best for them.

They cannot count on the US anymore.

It’s not China stopping you from having it lady. It’s your daddy, USA.

Just look at how aggressive China is threatening Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines. It’s not a bad idea for Japan to posses nuclear weapons

Japan, South Korea, Canada should join up and make some Nuclear EMPs. Just need like 5-10 each.

Is it even a question? Certain nuclear powers (including but not limited to Russia) *could* have shown restraint all the years they’ve been pushing the NPT, but no, the lesson they’ve taught the world repeatedly is you either have nukes or you submit to the will of those who do.

Comments are crazy. The fact that so many people agree with this is insane.

We’re at a state where nations without nuclear weapons have a persistent existential threat to their sovereignty. Yet if every nation has nuclear weapons, how long will the world go before a completely unhinged mad man is in charge of a nation with nuclear weapons, and finally pushes the button?
The context of our world is setting ourselves up for almost certain doom. Perhaps not in our lifetime, but eventually.

Makes sense.
Japan already has all the requisite components, ready for instant assembly within less than 48 hours notice.

Comment section full of Americans, the only country to ever nuke another country, explaining why it is bad for Japan, the only country to ever be nuked, to have nuclear weapons …

Nuclear deterrent for the multiple crazies across the pond; yeah I’d have to agree with them.

They should’ve had them long before NK ever got them. Thats a foreign policy screw up if ever there was one.

Its not a stupid idea in the times of today
true and real, look what happened to Ukraine
SK, Taiwan and Canada need them as well
