Japan opens door to taboo-free nuclear weapons debate
Original: Japan says it’s time for ‘taboo-free’ discussions about acquiring nuclear weapons

The remarks signal a shift in Japan's long-standing reluctance to even debate nuclear armament, prompting debate at home and abroad about the country's security posture.
Why now: Breaking a decades-long taboo on nuclear debate in the only atomic-bombed nation is inherently newsworthy amid regional security tensions
