Hmmm, A article about Japan, and guess who posted it......

BTW this isn't Canadian News.....

...What's wrong with this article? It's an interesting, though not surprising read.

I don't think Japan would have had much of a choice in the matter.

Piss off with the personal attacks... This news article is not anti-Japan. Japan was doing the US and the west a favour during the cold war....

So what? During that time we had a common enemy. Japan doesn't like atomic weapons for obvious reason yet she understood that certain things were necessary and she just did somethings with us quietly.

OK, here's a Canadian aspect:

$1:

From 1963 to 1984 US nuclear warheads armed Canadian weapons systems in both Canada and Germany. It is likely that during the early part of the period, the Canadian military was putting more effort, money and manpower into the nuclear commitment than any other single activity.

Nuclear weapons mean power. If we were savvy we would have had our own arsenal.
