Joe Biden to China: Curb North Korea or Japan Can Go Nuclear ‘Virtually Overnight’
Vice President Joe Biden warned China that the Japanese government may acquire nuclear weapons “virtually overnight” if the threat from North Korea becomes too grave, urging Beijing to do more to curb Pyongyang’s belligerence.
The Vice President’s comments echo those of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who warned that Japan and South Korea acquiring nuclear weapons “is going to happen anyway” in controversial remarks issued in March. Japanese government officials and media responded to Trump’s comments much more severely than they have to Biden’s.
“What happens if Japan, who could tomorrow, could go nuclear tomorrow? They have the capacity to do it virtually overnight,” Biden told PBS host Charlie Rose in an interview broadcast Monday. He explained that he made this warning to Chinese President Xi Jinping personally while discussing the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in South Korea to protect from a North Korean attack, a move that China has condemned vocally.

People are still believing this? No chance in hell Hillary is indicted before being elected POSPOTUS.
High energy beam weaponry on orbital military platforms directed by advanced intelligence may have the capacity to astonish the world. Arbitrary execution of the uncle must have disturbed the military support class near the top. Contacts from outside will be important in establishing stability in the event of sudden regime change.
If Kim Jong-Hill is elected, she’ll be North Korea’s newest BFF...
Indeed. One conventional attack against Trump is that he "wants Japan to have nukes." That misreprents Trump's position, which is that Japan should pay for the defense service provided by the US, and that if it doesn't pay a fair amount, it will have to defend itself. Defending itself may include building nukes.
And now here comes Biden, saying that Japan may have to build nukes to defend itself.
de-facto campaign speech as his drop-in replacement for an indicted Cankles.
Biden is passing the buck
The Obama regime is now officially not responsible for dealing with North Korea. America has backed out of Asia
Undoubtedly. All they need is the will to go ahead.
Joe is sounding very Presidential.
i wonder why. /s
Biden/? 2016?
Kim isn’t listening to China - he only hears the little voices in his head.
Japan at this point would be crazy not to go nuclear.
I don’t like the idea, but with China acting the party of an impudent child in the South China sea and elsewhere, Japan has to realize it’s only a matter of time before China starts making demands it won’t agree to.
This old world could be such a great positive place if nations would quit trying to be masters of the Universe.
China has been graced with the gifts from the West, and all it can think to do with them is become belligerent and instigate conflict.
China needs a few years with it’s nose in the corner, dunce hat on top.
Her indictment hangs over her head like the Sword of Damocles and the person with his hand near the horsehair is the head of the Democrat Party; one word from him and Lynch (who probably has the papers in a file ready to print) attacks.
Don't know if Biden's the understudy, but the DemocRATs will be able to line up someone.
For anyone who thinks it's too late in the game for DemocRATs, I have two words: Bob Torricelli.
Japan is a screwdriver's turn away from being a nuclear power...
My thoughts as well......
This heavy weight speech by Plugs Biden means one thing....Cankles Clinton may be soon indicted.
