I need one too please if we're putting in orders.

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

We might need a new version of the Morgenthau apology form

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.

In line with my believe that every country should get exactly one nuke

[-] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago

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

She is just the worst in every possible way.

This is the worst news to drop on Japan since Hiroshima 1945

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?

It gives both Russia (never signed a formal peace treaty with Japan, still technically at war, has land disputes with Japan currently settled in its favor but which Japan refuses to give up on) and China the legal rights to nuke Japan off the face of the earth, claim it was the only way and walk off scott-free. Fascists never learn.

The thing about Japan too is its' a US vassal. But the US thinks they're clever so could have them develop nukes, orchestrate a situation where they end up using them on China, get hit back hard in the face and China is left reeling and limping while Japan is finished and a martyred cause celebre for the west while never again risking being a competitor. So there is a very real risk and problem with them having nukes that doesn't exist in nations that are independent, no matter how deranged their leadership may be their ultimate goals tend to involve survival of their nation.

I remember a girl built a nuclear bomb as a science project. She has to do it for me for a only good cause…

"Japan needs to get nuked again"

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

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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?

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

I mean yeah every country needs to possess nuclear weapons, otherwise it's just a colony of some other country pretending to be independent. Thinking you can be a country without nukes in 2025 is like thinking you can be an army without guns. Like sure you can larp but the moment a real country comes along and tells you what to do you have no recourse.

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.
