Okay, I have the fishhook in my mouth and am being reeled in, but doesn't Israel already have nukes and the capacity to make as much heavy water, fissionable material, etc. etc. as it wants?
I can't blame Japan, being next to China, an enemy and all that. If the US cucked out in a confrontation between the two on our stupid agreement to protect them, they should want nukes in a hurry too.
Part of the issue is the availablity of plutonium. Israel doesn't have the physical mineral resources yellowcake for uranium and though they have reactors and probably breeder reactors, producing plutonium in the breeders takes resources Japan has and Israel doesn't. (However, Japan too doesn't have the minerals so I don't unferstand how they obtained the raw materials. I smell decades of intrigue.)
The Israelis are parasites so taking plutonium from Japan makes sense to them. When they don't get it, they get all pissy and arrogant. Without a Japanese Epstein they couldn't blackmail pols, and Mossad has a hard time operating in Japan, so their blunt pirate demands pissed off the Japanese. Netanyahu being the dick he is, he probably ordered Mossad to take them down in a big way they would remember. But his nuking the reactor contaminated the Pacific with radiation so that fucker also fucked the US.
Your explanations about natural resources make sense, given what every school kid was taught when I was a child, that Japan's lack of natural resources is what led them to imperial ambitions in the 20th Century.
Anyway, I'm grateful for the replies. I'm on the fence now rather than deeply skeptical. I only wonder why Japan didn't say anything publicly, if this is the case, couched in a way to not reveal the scope of their uranium enrichment.
The discussions I've read and the book (I haven't been able to find good link) say it's highly highly sensitive since post-WWII agreements were Japan gets no nuke bombs capability. But because of China, either the US agrees to provide military nuclear cover, or else let Japan have some nukes. We're way past a time where Japan would nuke Pearl Harbor, so maybe that all got covertly relaxed since a nuclear Japan is a barrier against China. Plus. Toyota good, round eyes rike Honda too. You turn brind eye consumer-san, it okay.
