A source within Japan's prime minister's office said Thursday that the country needs nuclear weapons, remarks that deviate from the country's long-standing non-nuclear principles and could trigger backlash at home and abroad.

      Every nation gets 1 nuke. It gets put under the equivilant of their white house. Everyone else gets a button for every other nuke.

      Peace in our time. strangelove

    I’m sure their US master is completely fine with one of their vassals developing their own nuclear weapons. clueless

      At least Japan is, unquestionably, a US colony without any sort of autonomy and had their military regressed to the point where this conversation has to take place.

      And I’m not saying that’s a good thing overall, at all. If instead of dropping the bombs, we just executed their heads of state and blocked their number like we were trying to dodge a landlord we owe money to, the world would be a better place. At least their imperial ambitions have been permanently neutered (and their population has a genuine disgust towards such a thing) compared to Germany. Germany shouldn’t have like, the manufacturing strength they do now.

    “Japan needs to get nuked again”

    I’m pretty sure that America will destroy Japan if they try to pull something like this.

      They didn’t do it with Isn’treal why would they do it now?

      99% chance the yanks are pushing this to just next week place yank nukes pointing to Beijing using the flimsy excuse of Japan developing them independently.

      But, in this year, why bother with flimsy excuses anyways?

        What’s Yankees going to do if they try to break free in the future?

        Israel is a different case entirely. They’re a SSettler colonial project which depends entirely on NATO to sustain itself, Japan doesn’t really need America.

        Americans already have enough nuclear submarines pointed at Beijing from the pacific anyways.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_state_clauses#Provisions

    Article 53(1) allows regional organisations to take enforcement measures against an enemy state, without prior Security Council authorisation, if these measures were provided for under Article 107 or aimed at preventing a renewal of that State’s aggressive policy.

    Article 53(2) defines an enemy State as any State that was an enemy of any signatory of the UN Charter during World War II. This covered, in particular, Germany, Italy, Japan, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Finland and probably Thailand.

    Hmm… would this count, I wonder?

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
