First of all, the U.S. is certainly not going to assist or even approve the development of nuclear weapons in South Korea, Japan, or Taiwan. I know it, the U.S. government knows it, the Chinese government knows it. Katzman’s plan of option is just impotent bluthering, the kind of pointless pouting children make when you take away their toys.

I’ve written a fairly thorough rebuttal some months back at coming anarchy regarding Japan’s “alleged” nuclear capabilities and how long it would take for them to develop a viable strategic nuclear defence and it is far longer than all these geopolitical lotharios think.

The problem is so many people cannot think rationally and invariably jump the gun one way or the other. It’s basically a case where their understanding of the facts is incomplete and they run around spouting gibberish and flail as if they had their heads cut off.
