We should provide them some. NO. Absolutely not. We can provide all the nuclear protection they need. They should concentrate on building up their conventional forces so they can be true allies and help share the burden of keeping their oil supplies flowing. I wouldn't object to 200,000 Japanese troops joning us in the ME. The mad mullah's are just as much a threat to them as they are to us.

Generally those support militarization are those who reject the verdict of Tokyo military court for WW2. These small group is gaining strength as people involved in the killing died away. Now younger generation were taught and many believe they helped liberated Asian from western colonization and was punished for doing so in WW2. I hope nobody argue with them about this when they have the bomb.

Nah. Let 'em build their own. They'll be more efficient, cheaper and have a higher resale value after 10 years.

US Law prevents us from providing any foreign nations wtih nuclear weapons. Even the UK has to design and build their own. Japan has a significant nuclear industry as they rely heavily on nukes for power. Many feel that they could build a weapon in less than a year.
