Japan may loathe the idea of nuclear weapons for obvious reasons, but with the decline of America as a credible ally and deterrent to China, Japan needs all the plutoniun it can make.

They should ignore Washington as it has been taken over by lunatics.

Oh be assured. They will.

They know they're on their own. I agree with you, they should ignore Washington, just like N Korea and Iran always have.

Any ally of ours needs to be fully prepared to defend themselves, alone.

"Japan may loathe the idea of nuclear weapons for obvious reasons,"

The Japaneses are not stupid. They know the casualties they took during the battle for Okinawa. The two bombs dropped on Japan allowed a surrender without loosing too much face AND without taking a million plus dead.

Of course, you still have that hideous green glow at night in the Hiroshima & Nagasaki areas, the gnarled grotesque trees, the three headed rats running everywhere and above all the 2 meter long cockroaches which all resulted from the lingering radiation poisoning.
