Japanese defense minister floats acquiring nuclear weapons again
Original: Japanese defense minister again floats acquiring nuclear weapons
Japan's defense minister has once again raised the idea of Japan acquiring nuclear weapons, a striking statement in the only country to have suffered atomic bombings. Discussion centers on whether this marks a real shift in Japan's postwar nuclear taboo or political posturing, amid regional security concerns.
Why now: A senior Japanese official openly questioning the country's long-standing non-nuclear stance is rare and politically explosive.
