Japan needs nukes, like North Korea got nukes, that they test. They’re not that reliable, but improving day by day. They often shoot missiles over Japan. If one was a nuclear armed and a miscalculation or malfunction occurred knocking it out of the sky, and it hit Osaka or Tokyo, killing millions, how would Japan react? With a strongly worded letter?
Former PM Abe agrees with me. The Japanese government needs to grow a pair, notice that the world is in crisis and that, as an island, it is vulnerable to attack.
Also, we need nuclear power plants.
I spoke to a plant designer, whose job in Japan disappeared after the 2011 March meltdown of an extremely old (50 years in use and the back-up systems never checked or tested–surprised they failed?) power plant. It was meant to have been shut down many years ago but the TEPCO big wigs wanted to save money and resisted shutting it down. Look what happened.
The nuclear plant designer said, they had plans that could safely withstand a powerful earthquake.
Japan still has 33 reactors in commission while proposals, planning or construction have started on an additional eleven according to data by the World Nuclear Association.
