They appear to be building up their military strength. Not for reasons of a new Imperialism, but as a defense against China, North Korea, and Russia. Should they be allowed to have nuclear weapons in their military arsenal as a deterrent?
No...but I might favor basing US weapons in Japan~They appear to be building up their military strength. Not for reasons of a new Imperialism, but as a defense against China, North Korea, and Russia. Should they be allowed to have nuclear weapons in their military arsenal as a deterrent?

The Japanese people do not want nukes.They appear to be building up their military strength. Not for reasons of a new Imperialism, but as a defense against China, North Korea, and Russia. Should they be allowed to have nuclear weapons in their military arsenal as a deterrent?
It's not in their identity. 3/4 of the Japanese do not want them.If we have them, why cant they?
I would prefer no one to have them, though.
That is a weapon no one, or no govt on this planet should have.
Yes, they should be allowed...they of all countries should be allowed since they are the only country in history who had nukes used against them.....
Takes quite a bit of imperialistic audacity to dictate to them what they can and can't have; with our track record of being the only country to use them....and to do it for no reason but to show off...
So you still telling yourself that fantasy huh...It worked. It gave the Emperor the out he needed to get the Army to surrender.
Japanese and Americans lives were spared. Japan was spared potential joint occupation.
The issue with nukes as a weapon is that too few is a far bigger risk than too many.
So you still telling yourself that fantasy huh...
“The use of this barbarous weapon…was of no material assistance in our war against Japan.” —Adm. William Leahy, Truman's Chief of Staff

I doubt their population would allow this but I see no reason to restrict them, even if we wanted to. After all, they'd be the least likely government on the planet to use them in haste. I'd seriously consider offering them to Taiwan. Now that Iran is only a step away from their own arsenal, non-proliferation is a dead issue. Let's let all comers have them.They appear to be building up their military strength. Not for reasons of a new Imperialism, but as a defense against China, North Korea, and Russia.

I think THAT particular Rubicon was crossed a long time ago and there is no going back. I suspect we'll either see an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear sites in '23 or Iran will finally announce that they've assembled a few small nukes. Once Israel KNOWS Iran has them, especially if they've managed to mate them to ballistic missiles, the window to stop the Iranians will officially be closed.The fewer nukes the better, human beings are too emotional and evil to be trusted with them. A friend today could easily be a foe tomorrow.

Imagine how brash Iran will become with their support of proxies against Israel when they have a nuclear umbrella to protect themselves. Lovely, eh?
My father, who fought in WWII, told me to never trust Krauts or Japs.
What part of they were not needed to stop the war did you not get the first time I told you?It stopped by grandfather from being in the 2nd wave with the Dixie Division, no fantasy there.
Leahy was a proponent of naval power, and nukes at the time were purely the domain of the army air force, of course he would denigrate them because he thought it would be the end of his navy.
Just because you trust them don't mean the rest of us should.The world is no longer the same as it was in WW2 so using the same thought processes is pointless.
Due to nuclear weapons, neither the "Krauts nor the Japs" are in a position to attack anyone.
For that matter, neither is the USA, Russia or China. It is THE REASON Russia has not used nukes on Ukraine. Deterrence.
If any world power uses nukes at this point it could very easily lead to global annihilation. MAD.
