Japanese Officials Again Talk About Nuclear Weapons, North Korea Strongly Condemns: The Ambitions of a War Criminal Nation Are Exposed
After an anonymous official from the Prime Minister's Office, Japanese officials have again talked about "nuclear weapons."
Recently, former Defense Minister Sano Itsujiro of the Liberal Democratic Party stated on a program that considering Japan's nuclear dependence on the United States, it is indeed necessary to discuss the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles," implying that Japan should relax restrictions on its possession of nuclear weapons, so that the United States would not one day stop providing a nuclear umbrella to Japan.
For this proposal, other Japanese politicians who participated in the program expressed their agreement and called on the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to thoroughly review the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles" and seriously consider whether they need to be revised.
Evidently, the nuclear-related remarks of that official from the Prime Minister's Office are not baseless. There are many people in the Japanese political arena who support nuclear weapons; they just need someone to raise the issue first to test the reactions and observe the attitudes of all parties. Once the timing is right, Japan could break through the restrictions of the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles" and seize the opportunity to acquire nuclear weapons.
Unfortunately, the Japanese militarists have miscalculated. Not to mention foreign countries, among Japan's neighboring countries, none will agree to Japan possessing nuclear weapons.
China's position is self-explanatory, and Russia and North Korea have also strongly condemned and opposed Japan's ambition to possess nuclear weapons. Especially North Korea, which criticized it very harshly. The Korean Central News Agency published an article stating that Japan, a country guilty of war crimes, must not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons, as it would only bring a catastrophic disaster to Asia and even the entire world.
South Korea has not made any statement, but due to historical grievances and current factors, it will not agree to Japan possessing nuclear weapons. However, since China, Russia, and North Korea have already spoken out, there is no need for Lee Jae-myung to find trouble with Takahashi Hayano. He can simply sit back and enjoy the benefits.
In summary, Japan's ambitious attempt to acquire nuclear weapons is absolutely impossible. If the Tokyo Metropolitan Government persists in its own way, Japan may not even have the chance to obtain nuclear weapons before facing retaliation. After all, Japan is the only country in the world that has been attacked by nuclear weapons, and it should learn from this lesson.
