In less than a year, Japan will have as many
nukes as NK now claims///In two years, they'll
have 4 timers as many abd the'll be
sophisticated enough to use as missle warheads.
Japan has the science, the industry, and the
nuke plants, and now they have a threat against
them that merits changing their minds about
not building them.
South Korea won't be far behind.
I'll almost bet that the AGM-86B's that were converted to carry conventional warheads will be switched back to the 200 kT W80 warhead soon and be deployed on B-52's going overseas.
And then I suppose, in order to compete, America will start making its nukes in Mexico....
