“For this reason, Yazhou Zhoukan said Japan has the ability to build its own nuclear bomb if it were to revise its postwar peace constitution”

And, they have that ability even if they DON’T revise their Constitution.

Japan needs to develop their own military and if it includes nuclear weapons, so be it.

Can’t be secret now that we know that.

I’ve suspected that they could “have” nuclear weapons in about an hour by assembling some parts.

It’s likely Japan has already done so.

Self preservation is a supreme motivator.

There was a time where Japan could look at the United States as a close and trusted Ally, that they could count on IF things went South.

At the same time, China knew that the last thing that they wanted to do was start some crap with Japan, because they knew that we would take a very dim view of that.

Thanks to Obama, that is no longer the case.

Give ‘em a wristwatch, ‘80s vintage Ms. PacMan game, and a cheeseburger vending machine, and they could wipe out Beijing. ;-)

If Japan has nukes, then you get the Chinese to a negotiating table, you hand them photos of Nanking and you tell them “If you continue to pursue this course of action, you will not be dealing with us. You will be dealing with the people who did THIS to you. Got it?”

Absolutely correct. Because of Obama, our enemies no longer fear us, and our allies no longer trust us.

As long as we are saddled with Obama and his worthless Regime, I fully support Japan, Israel and our other Allies to do whatever they deem fit.

Kinda like in my neighborhood. My anti-gun ownership neighbors are on their own. My other neighbors know that they will have support.

Nailed it.

That is one HUGE reason why I would like to see JAMES MATTIS run for POTUS in 2016.

Seriously.

We are going to need someone with his experience, personality and demeanor to step into the role of C-I-C. Our Allies already know this man and so do our Enemies.

With the absolute mess that Obama and his Minions have made, it’s going to take a Warrior mentality to unf*ck those messes.

I would hope so.

I would also hope they share them with Taiwan.
