With North Korea openly possessing nuclear weapons, South Korea displaying increasingly nationalist hostility, and China engaging in daily provocations around the Senkaku Islands, Japan faces a grave security environment.
The author argues that under such conditions, signaling the capability for immediate nuclear armament is a basic principle of strategy—something even a kindergarten child could understand.
Meanwhile, the Asahi Shimbun continues to undermine national security through pro-China and pro-Korea narratives, even dedicating full pages to anti-nuclear arguments by compliant academics.
This essay critiques both the regional threats and the domestic media that amplify Japan’s vulnerabilities.

North Korea, as we can all see, is a nuclear-armed state.
South Korea displays the characteristics of a de facto Nazi-like nation.
China, ruled by the one-party dictatorship of the Communist Party, continues daily provocations against Japan around the Senkaku Islands, clearly intending to invade the moment Japan shows even the slightest vulnerability.
To achieve this, China constantly seeks to drive a wedge between Japan and the United States.
They have selected Okinawa as the ideal stage for this, repeatedly inciting anti-base and anti-American protests there.
As I have already written, the Onaga faction has long since become a tool in China’s pocket.
In such a situation, when Japan is confronted with their increasingly lawless aggression, it should be obvious—even to a kindergarten child of military strategy—that Japan must show the stance that it can arm itself with nuclear weapons at any time once its national security is threatened.
The childishness of the Asahi Shimbun—or rather, its treacherous malice that appears as childishness—is beyond description.
This newspaper company has already sold Japan out to China and South Korea; saying so is no exaggeration at all.
The way they used an entire page today to have their compliant academics write about plutonium was nothing short of malicious.
