Let Japan and South Korea Go Nuclear

• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Eric Margolis

Washington's elite and neocon war party threw up their hands in horror at Trump's heretical question. The media, heavily influenced by neocons who hate Trump's call for even-handed US policy in the Mideast, scorned his nuclear proposal or simply ignored it.

Too bad that Trump's proposal was drowned in a sea of media noise. His idea has merit. This writer, long specialized in North Asian security affairs, has been advocating for a decade that Japan and South Korea develop their own nuclear weapons and anti-missile systems.

Two of Asia's most important powers cannot afford to remain strategically naked, vulnerable and totally reliant on US strategic protection. Would the US risk a nuclear war, even a limited one, to protect Pusan, South Korea or Kobe, Japan?
