<<Do they really think that Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan would allow NK to go nuclear without having a competing nuclear program of their own?>> The answer is "yes", and I believe the thinking may be that ... ... Japan will not go nuclear at all, because it has no strategic depth for a showdown (95% of industrial capacity is concentrated within 2 fireballs' circumference) that can only be against Russia, China, N.Korea and perhaps even S.Korea, and it can be blockaded into submission. It is a mistake to believe Japanese militarism will be tolerated for a second time by its favorite neighbors without effective and concerted challenge on Day #0. Missile defense of Japan is impossible, because the flight to target from all directions is all within 5 minutes from the word go, meaning any conflict is over before it starts. ... S.Korea will not go nuclear lightly, because it knows it cannot use nuke in a civil conflict with northern cousins. ...
