Trump wants South Korea and Japan to pay us for our troops and naval presence
which is there to protect them. These countries have some of the most profitable
companies on Earth. They are first-rate nations. And we're supposed to keep
constantly spending our money to protect them when we have a 20 Trillion debt ?
Here, listen to him say this.

Have you ever heard of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons?
If the US gives nukes to Japan, what prevents Russia and China giving nukes to Cuba, Pakistan etc.?

If America decided to sell nukes to Japan, for American interests, then yes, that will be wonderful.
China should be controlled, and Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam will help.

Sometime, round 2030, China is likely to pass the US in industrial strength; and about 2040 they'll probably pass the US in terms of standing military strength (though, the raw power of this may well be diverted to suppressing and monitoring a restless population that the government fears mightily).

Are you okay with it? I am not. (I love Chinese people, don't get me wrong.) America should be the world leader, without making sacrifices.

Answer my question. If the US breaks the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, what prevents Russia and China giving nukes to Cuba, Pakistan, Iran, Venezuela etc. Do not dodge it.

Japan today is not and is highly unlikely to become a threat to America. At the most, Japan is an ally and them having nukes would be like the British and Israelis having nukes.

We should be much more worried about the Communist governments in China (which my ancestors had to escape) and North Korea.

The most dangerous scenarios would be if Iran is able to build a nuke (Obama has made this much more likely) or if there is an Islamic coup in Pakistan that takes over the government and its nuclear arsenal. The Chinese and North Korean regimes are evil but still rational and care about their own survival. Mutually assured destruction won't work with Iran or other Muslim groups, because won't care if Iran is destroyed in a nuclear retaliation. They don't care if they die because they will be in paradise with the 72 virgins.
which is why Japan respects Taiwan. The feeling is mutual.

Nothing prevents Russia and China giving nukes to all these countries. They perhaps already did lol

What is there to dodge? lol

I'm not a supporter of Trump, but for other reasons. However, I'm more afraid of North Korea having nukes. North Korea hates the USA, and their population has been easily lead by despots over the last 63 years. At least for Iran, there are far more people who can think for themselves. North Korea is more of a threat.
