Well, I don't know. What's the difference if we let them make some, or we give them a bunch. We don't get off the hook by allowing Japan to make them anyway. Japan's gotta want them too. Have you seen them on the world map. Small, dense and easily crushed. One step away from china's huge stockpile and easily within Dong distance. And I guess we're going to sit back and say; hey don't look at us we're like way over here and don't have much influence with japan. Oh, their crazy, watch out China and North Korea.
North Korea is, frankly, not much of a threat to the USA directly. Even if they had missiles which could reach the USA, which they don't.... we could probably knock them out of the sky as easily as shooting skeet. And we could turn North Korea into a steaming hole in the ground, with so much residual radiation that any organic lifeform which comes near it for the next 50 years would melt like a stick of butter in a microwave.
No.... Attacking the USA directly isn't really the concern here.
Selling nukes to Iran or Syria, who then hand them over to terrorists... THAT is the real danger.
The other danger is that South Korea is an easy target. And despite what most of you people on this forum think.... we do care about South Korea getting attacked.
There isn't a military option against a nuclear North Korea, because of South Korea. They can't hit us in the USA.... and they know it. But they can hit Seoul, and kill 10 million people.
