VOA: US Military Experts Propose Sharing Nuclear Arms with Japan, South Korea
A group of military experts is proposing that the United States share its nuclear weapons with Japan and South Korea to answer the nuclear threat from North Korea.
The experts’ comments appear in Joint Forces Quarterly, a publication of the National Defense University. It notes that the opinions expressed in the article are not the official policy or position of the U.S. government.
In talks with U.S. officials, North Korea agreed not to test nuclear arms and long-range missiles. Yet the country apparently launched short-range missiles on Wednesday.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has met three times with U.S. President Donald Trump. Their most recent meeting took place in June in Panmunjom, along the border between North and South Korea.

WNU Editor: This is a debate that is just starting. As to what is my take. Sharing nuclear weapons is not a path that I want to go.

HELL NO.
Biggest threat to the world is China and their stockpile of nuclear weapons is limited. Putting nuclear weapons in Japan or Korea is just asking them to be taken by the biggest power in the region.

What did i just read?
Wnu. Is that because you think only Russia is allowed to play this chess game?
The hands that receive them maybe friendly, but the hands that use them may not. Better to keep them in your own silos.
"Biggest threat to the world is China and their stockpile of nuclear weapons is limited. "
Define limited.
It is estimated now that China has 260. I thought they had 200. At what # is their stockpile not limited?
"Wnu. Is that because you think only Russia is allowed to play this chess game?"
Iran, North Korea and Pakistan are all developing weapons and China and Russia float Norte Korea and keep it viable. If not directly supporting North Korea, their support allows cost shifting and thus indirectly supports it.
I say give them 300 nukes apiece.
Question is should the US have any nuclear weapons, whenever a child (a Democrat) is president?

"In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn."

Hell why not. Sharing is caring. It's all a big game anyway.
Dr. Quentin Young (left) is personal physician to Barack Obama (right) and Bernardine Dohrn (not shown). Dr. Young was reimbursed by the KGB after he paid rent in advance on a storefront he used to treat injured rioters during the disruptions of the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The ringleaders, principally Weather Underground terrorists, received urban guerrilla warfare training in Cuba from the DGI prior to the attacks

The USA continues to share nuclear know how with Britain. I bet there is on going co-operation with Israel as well. Given this there is precedent for sharing with very, very close long term allies such as Japan or South Korea. The likelihood of it is near zero. Japan is fervently anti-nuclear so it wouldn't have the political stomach for it. Inviting South Korea, with its long hatred of the Japanese, into the nuke club is impossible without Japanese consent. No consent will be given. So the whole question is mute.
I'll keep[ it clean. I do not care if the some portion of the Japanese public is anti-nuclear. I have been to Japan three times. I've seen a person in a pedestrian underpass display picture of a nuclear blast aftermath and I do not care. I was taken aback, but maybe next time I show such a person picture of Unit 731.
I do not believe that a nuclear bomb is particularly horrible. It is no more horrible than millions dying a slow death from starvation, a fire storms caused by bombing raids. I imagine having you blood drained and replaced with horse blood might be as painful as dying from ebola.
I dare say that dying in a nuclear flash is less painful than watching a Japanese bomber drop clay pots and you as you are staked to the ground and dies slowly from plague.
When firestorms caused by conventional munitions cover tens of miles and suck people into them from a block away, that cannot be less worse than a nuke.
Japan, the peaceniks, or other emoji people should not be given a veto over effective defense and weaponry.
Who cares what Japan thinks of South Korea.
Inspired by the atrocities committed by Unit 731, a Japanese research program during World War II, "Nisei" was originally intended to be a stand-alone mythology episode, but was lengthened into two separate parts.
Writer Frank Spotnitz has claimed that his inspiration for the episode came from having read an article in The New York Times on the war crimes committed by Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army, after which the episode is named.

Both Korea and Japan have the technology to go nuclear by themselves. I like the chessboard analogy. Who helped China develop nuclear weapons? Who helps North Korea develop nuclear weapons? Who helped Pakistan develop nuclear weapons? who helped India? Who helped Israel?Who is helping Iran? If Korea and Japan developed nuclear weapons which countries would be concerned the most? Or constrained the most? I don’t think that country would be the United States of America. I don’t think the country concern the most would be the United States of America. Concerned yes but not the most. I think that would fall definitely to China. Nuclear powers around China? The list would be : Russia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, India, Pakistan. Very dangerous neighborhood indeed.
World becoming more dangerous with the spread of nuclear armaments. It is only a matter of time before they fall into the hands of religious/political fanatics who would be happy to end mankind for whatever reason.
There's a place called hell and you fools don't believe me only the will of God people is the key
Your doomed Bob. You played your hand with great gusto and so poorly. You got you digs in and that was the important thing.
A sci-fi book circa 1990 covered your fears. A synopsis is that UN scientists calculate the end of the world is near so they build an interstellar space ship. The ship is launched and as the colonists are passing Jupiter they decide they want to turn around and go back. The onboard AI won't let them so they revolt and stat hacking it. The AI knows it is only a matter of time before they win so it places its memory in a out of the way place , while running out the clock. The AI runs out the clock, the colonists cannot go back, but when they get to the aft section of the ship they are able to see the Earth is a glowing ball of radioactivity.
The war was started by a false warning and the algos did the rest. I am sure the horrifies a little cowardly cupcake such as yourself. Earth can just as easily die in a low tech way like happened in Rwanda until there is noting left but iron age cultures degenerating into the stone age on dustball earth.
But to fight this you will use every intersectional, queer theory, against the capitalists, power to the people plan of action of the Left. And thus ensure it comes about.
this a good example of retardeness
