Ex-Japanese Prime Minister Abe suggests Japan host US nuclear weapons

In a February 27 television appearance, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made several inflammatory statements directed above all at China. Abe, who remains highly influential in Japanese politics and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), is seizing on the current crisis in Ukraine to further the right-wing nationalist agenda of remilitarization.

Abe appeared on a Fuji Television Network program calling for Tokyo to discuss hosting US nuclear weapons. “In NATO, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy take part in nuclear sharing, hosting American nuclear weapons,” Abe stated. “Japan is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has its three non-nuclear principles, but it should not treat as a taboo, discussions on the reality of how the world is kept safe.”

Taking advantage of the anti-Russia war hysteria, Abe claimed that if Ukraine had kept some of the nuclear weapons on its soil after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it could have used the weapons as a deterrent to the current Russian invasion. Abe went on to say that hosting nuclear weapons in Japan was one possible way to deter supposed threats from China and North Korea.

In reality, the spread of nuclear weapons, far from preventing war, only increases the danger of their use in a conflict that does break out. In the case of Japan, the permanent placement of American nuclear weapons on its territory will only heighten tensions with China in conditions where successive administrations have been engaged in an aggressive military build-up throughout the region against Beijing over the past decade.

The placement of US nuclear weapons in Japan would likely begin an arms race in the Indo-Pacific, increasing the risk of conflict. Abe’s purpose is not to provide for the defense of Japan, but to prepare it for a US-instigated war against China.

Nuclear weapons would violate the Asean treaty. Indonesians are not too happy with Australian having nukes and South Korea have a trust issue with Japan.

@dyno it's not a secret. Shizo Abe ( former PM of Japan) is calling for a debate in the Japanese government about hosting nuclear weapons. The current Japanese PM is denouncing nuclear sharing but US is pushing for it.

@dyno Putin has 8,000 nukes pointed at Europe so I don't think they have the grounds to tell NATO about disarming.

@zexsypmp23 U.S are trying to install nukes in Poland & Lithuanian. I'm no Putin fan but his request is rational.
