They could easily make one. So they must have one since China has a whole bunch of nukes and and norh Korea supposedly has one and fired a non-nuklear missile over Japan a few years ago. Put it all together and Japan must have a nuke. They would be stupid not to with this tension going on with China.

Uh....no. Japan does not have one. If they did, we would have heard about it during its development.

Japan doesn't even make their own fighter jets. Their constitution has strict restrictions on the scope of their defense/military.

And what use would a nuke have in a fight with China over an island?

Do I believe it? No, there is no evidence they have one.

I don't believe stuff people just think might possibly be true, like Japan's nukes, the loch ness monster, or lizard people that rule the world. It's intellectual honesty to not believe until something is proven to be true, and dishonesty to believe things that have no evidence that they exist.

China wants both of their Conservative States, Taiwan and Japan back.

They already have their Libertarian State, Hong Kong, back.

Deals with the U.S. will be struck.

To be fair, Israel is believed to have nukes though its never been confirmed. That being said, I doubt there are any nukes on Japanese soil that were made and controlled by Japan itself. I guess its possible the U.S. may have moved some nukes there, but they are not controlled by Japan.

They don't need nukes. They have Godzilla.

Seems somewhat "karmic", doesn't it?

If Israel is aummed to have nukes by some one, that you have not labeled, really doesn't have much impact if another country has them. It's a non-sequitor. Thinking they might have nukes doesn't confirm they do, and doesn't have much impact on a country across the world.

That being said, there is zero evidence they have nukes or who controls them.

It's one thing to say if they had nukes that it could be possible to be considering nukes in the face of an invasion by a much larger force and they have the capability. It's completely another to know they must have them like the OP without any evidence, and certainly even more bizarre they would be holding nukes for the US without evidence.

I believe that I responded to your post in a respectful way so I'm not sure why you are so angry.

Anyway, my point in bringing up Israel is that its possible for a country to hide nukes. That's all.

I agree the OP is indeed assuming that Japan has nukes simply because it makes sense to him--that's not a confirmation that they do of course. I'm just saying its possible that the U.S. may have sneaked some nukes to Japan considering the obvious strategic advantage--but its unlikely since if China ever found out there would be a big mess.
