In Japan and South Korea there is deepening concern over the reliability of long-time American security guarantees – whether the U.S. will come to their aid in the event of a war. This has been turbo-charged by Donald Trump’s tough treatment of traditional U.S. allies, which has some in Tokyo and Seoul calling for a reassessment of their non-nuclear policies.
My understanding is that Japan is de facto an nuclear armed state, they simply haven’t made an warheads. They have the all the necessary technology and fuel enrichment, so they could quickly arm if they thought it would be necessary in the near future.
it seems that only my country (iran) having nukes is bad.
Hey Canada…We should be thinking about this, also.
I’ve been saying that since 2008 as a teen but man was that an unpopular opinion. We’re a very naive country imo.
I wish but… Do you think they won’t invade us at the whiff of nuclear armament?
Do what isreal did and lie about it while building one
I don’t think we could realistically hide it from their agents but yeah, totally. That’ll probably be the way if our gov’t decides to do it.
Building nukes is like unionizing; ideally you don’t go public until you already have your nukes/union
I don’t trust them not to invade us without that protection, anyways.
Agreed. I just think that would make it certain.
If we could get nukes secretly I’d be all up for it.
If Japan and South Korea go through with this perhaps we could purchase some from them (or elsewhere, UK, France, hell, even China) to cover us while we work on a domestic program.
This is going to result in some really confused Akira spinoffs
Oh God(zilla)

Replace Lilith with Trump. Ew.
I was thinking more like Ivanka clones from the Lilith vat like Rei
