In Japan and South Korea there is deepening concern over the reliability of long-time American security guarantees – whether the U.S. will come to their aid in the event of a war. This has been turbo-charged by Donald Trump’s tough treatment of traditional U.S. allies, which has some in Tokyo and Seoul calling for a reassessment of their non-nuclear policies.
Japan having nukes is gonna be PR nightmare given their imperialistic history lol.
As for South Korea and ROC/Taiwan, sure thing. UK ot France should sell them some nuclear armed submarines lol.
I mean, not really. Barely anyone is alive who remembers these things viscerally, and people don’t pay attention to history at all, if they even know the broad strokes
There’s still alot of animosity from South Korea towards Japan. The threat from China and American unreliability has driven them together politically but the animosity still remains on an individual level.
what if they launch them out of gundams? that seems like it wouldn’t be quite so much of a PR nightmare
No no, the nuclear-armed Gundam doesn’t come until after the war with Zeon.
okay how about a naval cruiser that can also turn into a space ship
