JAPANESE POLITICIANS WANT THE ABILITY TO BOMB NORTH KOREA FIRST BEFORE BEING 'DESTROYED'
BY TOM O'CONNOR ON 3/27/17 AT 1:58 PM
Top Japanese lawmakers have begun arguing for the capability to launch a preemptive missile strike on North Korea in the face of Pyongyang's increasingly active ballistic and nuclear weapons programs.
In response to militant rhetoric from North Korea, a group of influential Japanese legislators has announced a public campaign to end the World War II-era restrictions, imposed on Tokyo by the U.S., that prevent Japan from initiating military action. The post-war scheme tasked the U.S. with defending Japan from foreign attack but Japanese politicians including ruling Liberal Democratic Party head Hiroshi Imazu and former defense chief Gen Nakatani have said that Japan deserves the right to defend its own interests and should acquire the means to do so.
“Japan can’t just wait until it’s destroyed,” Imazu told The Washington Post Monday. “It’s legally possible for Japan to strike an enemy base that’s launching a missile at us, but we don’t have the equipment or the capability.”
“I believe that we should consider having the capacity to strike,” Nakatani told The Washington Post.

Vastly different population mindset entirely Elsie.
“I saw a striking contrast in the progress of the Indian people today ... they are fast becoming a white and delightsome people.... For years they have been growing delightsome, and they are now becoming white and delightsome, as they were promised.... The children in the home placement program in Utah are often lighter than their brothers and sisters in the hogans on the reservation.
At one meeting a father and mother and their sixteen-year-old daughter were present, the little member girl-sixteen-sitting between the dark father and mother, and it was evident she was several shades lighter than her parents—on the same reservation, in the same hogan, subject to the same sun and wind and weather.... These young members of the Church are changing to whiteness and to delightsomeness.
One white elder jokingly said that he and his companion were donating blood regularly to the hospital in the hope that the process might be accelerated.
(Improvement Era, December 1960, pp.922-23). (p. 209)
MacArthur had the advantage of a cooperative Emperor of Japan, in a nation of highly skilled and developed subjects. There is nothing parallel in North Korea.
...”Is there a real ethnic difference between the populations?”...
Yes, in stature as well as culture. Let alone their mindset.
We’ve always been at war with EastAsia.
Absolutely agree. North Korea has many weaknesses, and once it makes the first move it will lose. However that first move would be monumental - the destruction of Seoul, and hundreds of thousands of lives potentially lost. North Korea is actually a country-sized honey bee. It can sting, but by stinging it will die. Same thing - Pyongyang would destroy Seoul, but thereafter it would get destroyed itself
Bottom line is N.Korea's is shortening their own time. If they could just find the will to topple their leadership....but I don't see that happening without outside assistance...if at all.
Heck that’s exactly what the Hard left is trying to do...they just play their hand differently
They are already moving in that direction. They now have four ships in commission referred to as “Helicopter Destroyers”. If they just buy some F-35Bs, they give those ships a much great offensive capability.
“I believe that we should consider having the capacity to strike,”............
The Japanese tried that once before and look how that turned out. There is a reason they have been handcuffed for so long, what makes the japanese think No. Korea will just sit back and wait for them to arrive?
Well Ross Perot, the little hand grenade with a bad haircut, could have if he actually been serious. I remember the ground swell of support at the beginning. Even George Wallace roused up people in the beginning with his populace message. If one of those pointy headed liberals lays down in front of my car, I will run them over.
Truth is voters are just a commodity to be exploited.
China ultimately wants to make a deal with South Korea to take care of the “North Korea Problem”, but they would want the US out of Korea in return.
You guys noticed.
Of course..:)
When China looks at North Korea, it is like looking in the mirror at its own past. To say something is wrong with the personality cult of the Kim Il Sung, is to say something is wrong with their cult of Mao. In fact, current Communist leader Xi Jinping is a second hereditary communist leader since his father was a high-level first generation communist official.
My post originally was about Koreans.
However...... There was a young politician named Ford from Memphis. His mother gave him the best gift she could...... a big dose of white genes
I suspect some of the Squaws observed did the same.
I can hardly believe some of the comments on here.
NO!! Japs don’t need nukes, unless you want to be prepared for more of their usual, historical, sneak surprise attacks on other countries, including ours. NO!!
Short memories have we? Or none?
Does Japan have planes?
Does Japan have bombs??
Does Japan have balls??? ....................Yes, All of the above. Like the USA in WW II they can switch production very quickly. You might say, they like to do things in secret, but you can bet, the detailed plans are on the table. Think about it, what nation in the world went from feudalism to a modern nation at such a rapid pace as Japan. They make the rest of the 3rd world look stupid by comparison. LOL, they look after themselves very well, no diversity there, all yamato. BTW, there are no refugee problems for them. If they feel threatened, watch out!
Possibilities for reunifying the Korean Peninsula
This, too: New Approach to North Korea
There were many issues (like the fact that East German industry was completely archaic and unproductive) but none was insurmountable. However, unification was ultimately very expensive for West German taxpayers.
China sells to North Korea. I doubt they would like to lose a communist ally. China is just as totalitarian as they are-don’t doubt it. Would they sit idly by and allow their natural ally next door to be invaded by the US?? Wouldn’t count on it... We made that mistake in ‘50.
