Condi Rice promises U.S. defense of Japan
According to the AP, "Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said Wednesday the United States is ready to use the 'full range' of its military might to defend Japan in light of North Korea's nuclear weapons test."
"History repeats itself... the second time as a farce."
So, the only country in the world to have ever used nuclear weapons, the U.S., has promised to use nuclear weapons to defend the country they used nuclear weapons on, from nuclear weapon attack.
Insanity!
And people are wondering why North Korea feels it need nuclear weapons to defend itself?
The largest military power in the world has been on their doorstep for decades, with thousands of soldiers and weapons amassed on its borders; yet they are wrong for defending themselves?
It's clear that the regime is Pyongyang isn't great by any measure; but it's up to the Korean people to decide who represents them, not the U.S. or Japanese governments.
The U.S. has the largest nuclear stockpile in the world; and even though it belongs to treaties that require it to scale down this stockpile, it never has.
A country with 10,000+ nukes, that has actually used such weapons in the past, is going to "defend" a country which invaded half of Asia against a small, isolated country which has just aquired small nuclear arms?
I don't think so.
