Thankfully , there is someone in Japan who is not afraid of using the N-word! Japan has no option but to go nuclear to prevent the Chinese from overrunning them.

Good. The more nukes pointed at China the better. Especially ones that could get there as quickly as those that would be based in Japan.

Coming from Japan one knows that this is no idle threat.

With the way the world is heating up right now, we Christians need to be prepared. Start spreading the Good News, we are going to need it. God save us from ourselves.

Wow, the Japs must be really scared if they throw the "nuclear" card around so freely.

More power to 'em cause Im sure there are many in the military ranks that would love to have some payback for Nanking.

Oh, by the way....If you really want to read about really horrible war stories than read a book on what the Japs did to the people in Nanking. Truly shocking stuff.

This is what I've always thought of as our trump card in the region. If all else fails with China diplomatically, we can encourage Japan to fully rearm itself. I dont care how fast China is growing, they just dont have the resources to compete with an agressive Japan.

We can produce thousands of nuclear warheads overnight. We may have enough plutonium at nuclear power plants for 3,000 or 4,000 rounds."

And wouldn't it be sooooo interesting if, say, a couple dozen of those 'rounds' happened to disappear and show up a few days later in Taipei mounted on cruise missles.

good and we should get the heck out of China now, not wait til they hold us hostage again.

Unfortunately, Ozawa speaks unambiguously and talks about the need for fundamental change in the Japanese political system so that it represents the electorate rather than the administrative-industrial relationships which define Japanese political life. He is despised by the Japanese press and bureaucracy precisely because of his intellect and personal integrity. These personal qualities are loathesome in Japan.

[Fishing-guy]

Why would the Japanese want to spend billion of dollars in building nuclear weapons, when the US is already paying the bill in defending them?

Besides, one should be careful with the words of a "conservative Japanese political leader." Wonder what they were saying before Pearl Harbor?

[Rule of Law]

Thankfully , there is someone in Japan who is not afraid of using the N-word!

I have two words for you: Pearl Harbor

Do you really want the Japanese to have nuclear weapons?
