Japan could 'go nuclear' in months

[Steve Bildermann]

Actually I think it's tacitly accepted Japan is a nuclear capable country now! Means, method, delivery system and resources have all been in place since the 70's. Political willingness to actually admit it may only be a formality if NK starts acting up. Jesus Christ I'm scaring myself now!

On January 3, Washington Post syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer wrote, "We [the US] should go to the Chinese and tell them plainly that if they do not join us in squeezing North Korea ... we will endorse any Japanese attempt to create a nuclear deterrent of its own. Even better, we would sympathetically regard any request by Japan to acquire American nuclear missiles as an immediate and interim deterrent. If our nightmare is a nuclear North Korea, China's is a nuclear Japan. It's time to share the nightmares."

Let's share the warmth, U238 style!


NORTH KOREA: A PRIMER
Only the bombs are modern
"Call it Oz, call it some bizarro world. North Korea is unlike anything...
The first thing you have to know is that North Korea's leaders operate in a universe whose coordinates are completely different from anyone else's."...

It's a universe where embassies are expected to turn a profit by smuggling endangered species, counterfeit money, drugs and bootleg CDs in diplomatic pouches exempt from customs checks.....

To North Korea, there is no greater status symbol than nuclear weapons. Without nuclear weapons, they are all bombast without the bomb.....a North Korean joke that says if you take the nuclear weapons away from North Korea, what you end up with is Grenada."

Is it time for a smart opportunist to start marketing inflatable bomb shelters??

Maybe on Shop Japan TV network..

I live within a 3K radius of Shinjuku Station.. and knowing how accurate Fat Boy Kim's aim is I think I would just be paranoid enough to buy one?
