Collin Powell warned Japan to build its own nuclear deterrent before it was to late
Time for Japan to re-read the Powell military doctine and create a MAD nulcaer counter force, rather than buying useless American antimissiles.
Breaking with the very Bush policies he pushed as secretary of state, Powell as he left office as Secretary of State openly suggested while in Japan, that Japan and South Korea construct their own nuclear and ICBM program and defense systems indepedentent of the United States. Collin Powell saw then, how the Bush administration was abandoning its responsibility to defense the people of Taiwan. He know the communist government of China has created a 400 missile kill zone targeting and an army of 100,000 troops ready to take back the island country of Taiwan.
Without a nuclear counter force, Taiwa in time will become indefensible able. That time is now. American troops will not deployed inside this growing kill zone.
Chinese military planners and leadership are banking on the political fact that the Bush administration fears telling the America public the simple true about the "One China policy" and given the growing Iraqi commitment phobia, Americans are not willing to die for the freedom of the Taiwan people who have no oil. The current downsizing of the US military and the emergence of China and North Korea within the region has forced a new balance of power sharing. Protecting Taiwa is no longer high on the America political agenda.
The same process of strategic abandonment is under way in American political thinking about the Korea peninsula . The people of South Korea no longer believe America will invest thousands of Americans to reucses them from the North Korea and China. This same thinking is now moving across the sea of Japan with the firing of North Korean missiles.
Japan, like Taiwan, is now facing hundreds of Chinese and North Korean missiles, with no nuclear counter threat, beyond the good will of the Bush administration and a few antimissle ships.
US mulinationals who account for 80 percent of Chinese 300 billion dollars of exports to South Korea, Japan and the United States fear that the Japanese and American public will make the political connect the Chinese military support of the North Korean ICBM program and stop buying Chinese imports in protest. The real wespone of the Japanese and American people is their buying power leverage on export driven China unitel the Japanese can build their own nuclear conter forces.
The New York Times and other western media have been carefully not to allow the critical connection between the the Chinese military aid to the North Korean ICBM program to be made in the news coverge. Some how a country that can not even feed its peoeple is able to build ICBMs almost like the Chinese ICBMs without critical overnight parts from China. Collin Powell warning to Japan to start building their own ICBMs was design to address the the long term Chinese nuclear threat to Japan as the US truns inward and away from Japan secruity needs.
The critcal mass is being reach for Japan to create take charge of its own defenses. Its should not depend on a committemnt-phobic America to deal with North Kore and China. The strategic appilcation of the Collin Powell military doctine to Japan going nuclear will change the whole power balance in the Pacfic region.
