I have a feeling they’ll be delivered to NoKo one warhead at a time before Barry see them.

If I were Obozo I would be careful about pushing the Japanese to return the nuclear makings, if Pearl is any indication, Obozo might not like the way they choose to return it.

Japan’s response:

“Okay. As soon as you return all of Germany’s gold.”

Sounds good, doesn’t it?

The plutonium that is stored at a fast critical assembly in Tokaimura in Japan’s Ibaraki prefecture could be used to produce 40-50 nuclear weapons>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And why shouldn’t it be done? Obama has no intention of protecting Japan from China or North Korea.The Japanese know they are on their own, Obama has more or less betrayed every US ally during his 5 years in office.

Another way to say it:

Japan: “Okay, we’ll return the plutonium... to be delivered 7 years from today”.

Agree to give it back, but after January 2017. Let a new regime be in place, not Obama.

And Pakistan and North Korea and maybe even Saudi Arabia.

I suspect this is a pro-China move.

Excellent comment. Being an enemy pays big dividends during this regime.

I guess the Japanese aren’t Muslim terrorists.

Yeah, but floating it back in Pacific currents one atom at a time probably wasn’t what the Administration had in mind. :)

That Plutonium has probably already been used by Japan to make parts that when assembled are working nuclear weapons. Japan is next to two dangerous nuclear powers, Red China & North Korea, and needs the ability to respond to an attack in a credible manner. Due to Japan’s WWII history, the country does not want to be known as a nuclear power, but having readily assembled parts is a prudent step. Israel denies having the A-bomb, but can have working nuclear weapons about as soon as it takes to hang one on a jet fighter-bomber.

As the article notes, Japan has 44 tons (roughly,nobody knows for sure) of plutonium and all the technology it needs to build warheads. I doubt they are worried too much about this particular shipment, but it might be embarrassing to admit it’s been installed in warheads already.

Agreed.

If there were no other reason than not doing it because Barry wanted it, that would be good enough for me.

We have complete jackarses running the country. They reward our enemies and penalize our friends. You don’t keep friends that way.

The ONLY reason Zero would not like Japan returning our nukes that way, is it would ruin his vacation spot.

Now if they returned them to the main land, he couldn't contain his joy.
