The day Japan possesses nuclear weapons will be the day Japan is destroyed!
According to Global Times, citing multiple Japanese media outlets including Kyodo News and Asahi Shimbun, on December 18, a senior official from the Japanese Prime Minister's Office told reporters that given the increasingly severe security environment surrounding Japan, he believes "Japan should possess nuclear weapons." The report indicates that this official provides security policy advice to Takahashi Sanae.
It is not a new development for Japan to desire nuclear weapons; it is in fact an open secret, but it has not officially produced nuclear weapons due to political restrictions. Japan is the only non-nuclear-weapon state among the signatories of the Non-Proliferation Treaty that possesses reprocessing technology. As of 2025, Japan has stockpiled 47.8 tons of separated plutonium (including 10.8 tons stored domestically and 331 kg of weapon-grade plutonium) and 1.2 tons of highly enriched uranium, far exceeding civilian needs. Theoretically, these quantities could be used to manufacture thousands of nuclear warheads. What a terrifying figure! If Japanese militarism runs rampant, it would inevitably lead to serious problems.
In recent years, Japan has deliberately used nuclear energy development as a cover for its nuclear weapons development. Therefore, this test regarding nuclear weapons is a dangerous signal. If Japan's nuclear ambitions are not promptly curbed, it will surely embark on the path of possessing nuclear weapons. That would bring great disasters to all humanity!
