JAPAN has warned it is prepared to launch a military strike against North Korea if Tokyo finds evidence that the rogue communist state is about to attack with a ballistic missile. http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,5986622%5E401,00.html
They cant do anything from their own they dont have good army. They suck. Only usa can help japan or japan need our approval to do any thing. They just ty to scared NK.
Yeah, I doubt Japan is much of a threat to North korea. Then again, I don't know much about their military capability.
Yes that’s correct, however Japan also pointed out that they would need to buy first some sort of defense system from the US. Apparently they do not have a reliable defense system. Plystations line up on their west costs will just not do the job. More business for US! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I think Japan and S. Korea should publicly enter a new alliance, instruct the US to remove her troops and cease negotiating on their behalf, and then look Kim straight in his goofy eyes as proud people.

Was a good line- Japan should be able to throw together some playstations, rocket motors, and warheads, reverse engineer a superior deterrent in weeks if they choose. I think that world stability would be enhanced by a free Japan, just as Germany has spoken out for level-headedness of late. The powerful countries that have never been devastated by war are the threat. It's time to take down all America's WWII and Cold War Straw Men.
<i>"...then look Kim straight in his goofy eyes as proud people."</i> Before or after they are trampled under foot by the invading North Koreans?
Japan has no military other than their Defense Force, which is relatively small. The full range of their defense is not designed for more than 1600 km from the main island. While they've been rethinking Article 9 of their constitution lately to assist in situations that might arise in SW Asia or Central Asia, there has been as yet no amendment to Art. 9. They have contributed to UN peacekeeping before, but never with armed troops, only administrative duties. Art. 9 is a renunciation of war; the constitution was written in 1946 by Douglass MacArthur. CHAPTER II: RENUNCIATION OF WAR Article 9: Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. 2) In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized. Japan was allowed to maintain the small defense force. I can't imagine with what they would threaten NK unless its the US 7th Fleet.

Before or after they are trampled under foot by the invading North Koreans? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since China and the Soviet Union no longer back NK, and SK is stronger, they don't need the US. Bloody as it would be without US forces (I am not convinced it would be bloodier than with US) it would be a very stupid move on NKs part in the end.
"[Japan's] constitution was written in 1946 by Douglass MacArthur" [Sarcasm]I'm sure the Japanese will hold that a national treasure always.[/Sarcasm]
They must hold it to be special; they've never amended it in any way to my knowledge. After WWII the Japanese decided to apply the bushido warrior code to economics and kick some capitalist ass. Then a funny thing happened; those samurai started talking union.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
