There's also the issue of waking up Godzilla...
That might actually be the least worst scenario rn...
"Waking up Godzilla" ..my thoughts exactly!
Well, if Godzilla exists, I say that's a win.
Yes I think South Korea will develop nukes. The opinion of UN won't make a difference and there will very likely be disruption in trade with China whatever they do. Not stopping Russia from invading Ukraine after they gave up their nuclear weapons is what killed nuclear proliferation so with what right would anyone criticize SK for getting nukes?
As long as SK accept US nuclear umbrella, it won't have any nukes. Yoon could try but he and his party is quite unpopular these days to change anything. Plus Yoon always listen to US so no need at all.
After the bad experience of Ukraine, many countries will produce nukes to avid the same fate. Not publically but in the same way as Israel. Not officially but so that still everybody knows it.
How about pushing for a total nuclear weapons ban all over the world? If you want a more peaceful world, this should be a major priority!

Ukraine gave up russian nukes altho the agreeement was giving them for security and full protection
Uncle Sam allowing a country that gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees to be invaded twice while kowtowing to every country developing nuclear weapons sends an unmistakable message to the world.
unmistakable message to the world., does that mean America can no longer be relied upon for security guarantees?
So youre telling that it is China, North Korea and Russia is allowed but Japan and South Korea is no?
Oceania is at war with Eurasia,
Eurasia is at war with East Asia,
Oceania is always at war with East Asia.
Orwell got it wrong I think. It will be India vs China that will go nuclear
Using Politico as a source, quoting "People briefed on his thinking"? You can use better sources, such as "Trust me, bro".
Precisely. And is it really so bad to ask that those under our umbrella better compensate ys and prepare themselves when we've provided protection for decades? This channel needs to stick to facts and knock off the anti Trump bias.
His actions haven't been the best when it comes to dealing with our Asian allies but still "people familiar with his thinking" sounds like people who either want to put words in his mouth or people just read too much into his rhetoric.
I don't like ai reading voice for the headlines...
some of the assumptions are too far out from the ones I would take.
You obviously are using some bot to read the quotes. I down voted the video because it is horrible to listen to! Get a real human reading as it is soo much better. This is not the space you want to "inovate".
Ki-SHY-dah??!!
I think they purposefully mispronounce names to increase comments 😅
Good video, but I detect hints of impartiality
They don’t mention countries in Asia and Europe were letting the USA foot the cost for defense! Trump did the right thing and told them to pay their parts. Many NATO and Asian countries were not paying their minimum required GDP to defense!
Cause the video criticizes President Trump? It is true though, while Trump did get American allies to pay more for defense, there was a geopolitical cost. America first is great for domestic policy, but is not very effective for foreign policy, especially in managing allies and alliances.
As a Japanese who pays for taxes, sure we need to defend ourselves but we need to first protect what needs to be defended in the first place. There won't be anything to defend if we continue with our declining population, ever increasing child poverty, increasing prostitution because of poverty, overworking and drained population, and so on.
I have seen Japanese porn and there does seem to be a lot of prostitution or at least sex work in videos. I don't want a prostitute I want a girlfriend or wife. and Child poverty is crazy in japan I think I heard of something like that.
@@WhiteGirlHeaven yeah, it doesn't help when there are parents who can barely afford to keep the ship afloat because of terrible wages and so the kid has to take drastic measures in order to pay and also enjoy their time in college.
@@xXIronSwanXx and I heard of the yen going down in comparison with the dollar and how Americans can take advantage of cheap yen in japan.
and How people in Okinawa want Us marines and US bases out of Japan.
Do you think Japanese people want US bases out of japan? and If Japan has over a trillion dollars in US debt or something then that can cause inflation in japan and cause the yen to go down. i don't completely know how this all works being backed by the US dollar and US Treasury.
Marine Corps Air Station Futenma or MCAS Futenma (Japanese: 海兵隊普天間航空基地, Hepburn: Kaiheitai Futenma Kōkū Kichi)A[2] (ICAO: ROTM) is a United States Marine Corps base located in Ginowan, Okinawa, Japan, 5 NM (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) northeast[1]B of Naha, on the island of Okinawa. It is home to approximately 3,000[3] Marines of the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing and other units, and has been a U.S. military airbase since the defeat of the Japanese Imperial Army in the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. Marine Corps pilots and aircrew are assigned to the base for training and providing air support to other land and sea-based Marines in Okinawa and throughout the Asia-Pacific region. MCAS Futenma is part of the Marine Corps Installations Pacific command.
@@xXIronSwanXx Yes and I did watch some Day in the Life videos from Paolofromtokyo It seems like Japanese families aren't struggling too much and they even have restaurants or own stores. so can't Japanese people start a Japanese restaurant like I see in the videos.
and people can always wait until they have a lot more income like traveling overseas to America if the yen becomes more stable then they can travel abroad for work or collage to earn more income.
@@WhiteGirlHeaven restaurant stores are prone to going bankrupt within 2 years, too much risk involved after having finally saved enough money.
Japan and South Korea are not the only liberal democracies in East Asia. Taiwan is a liberal democracy.
They don't deserve a count because they lack the will to fight to protect freedom. One proof is that Taiwan's conscription system is only 4 months of service yet. Moreover, even now, half of Taiwan's citizens are ready to surrender. Still, we have not forgotten that there are still half of Taiwanese people have willing to fight for freedom, and we are all very grateful.
@@UbermanNullist it's a year now, not four months.
@@djunior874 Yes, I know they changed it 5 months ago, but it will take more than 20 years to restore the system to 2018 readiness level, and 1 year of conscription is still too little given the circumstances. Taiwan is less prepared than Ukraine and Israel were before the war.
Japan korea always been conservative democracy
Taiwan was liberal but became conservative democracy
@@meteorknight999 Taiwan is more liberal than Japan or Korea. It was the first Asian country to introduce gay marriage
I think, US have to admit the failure of NPT(Non Proliferation Treaty) and support nuclear armament of their allies. North Korea, China, and Russia have reinforced their nuclear weapons while US opposes nuclear armament of their East-Asia allies.
In addition, NK, China, and Russia are expected to use their nuclear weapons in high probability when the outbreak of war in East Asia and I'm really skeptical that the US may provide nuclear umbrella for SK and JP at the risk of nuclear attack of Russia and China on LA and NY.
I wonder what happens if Taiwan develops nuclear weapons, is not like they can loose more international recognition or allies
It may be in America's best interest to prevent a nuclear armament of Japan and South Korea as much as possible, because if they no longer need the American nuclear umbrella for security guarantee, they may want to balance America and China against each other, rather than staying as American allies against China.
Visual Politik's insights are really outstanding.
In this chapter, more than ever. Thank you VP!
Japan and South Korea must defend from any external threats.
Slava SAMSUNG 🦾 Heroyam Samurai 🗾
Interesting video.
Taiwan, Japan and South Korea had better develop their own nuclear weapons and be prepared to defend themselves. The US cannot afford to be the policemen for the world. All of those countries including Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines had better get moving on increasing their defense budgets and improving their overall defense posture.
Agree, America should have less leverage over most of the world. They've already shown unreliable they are as allies how they'll happily use others for political points at home.

We would want to. And we tried several times, but the States stopped us every time and are continuing to do so
@@jasonsmart1 what country are you form? and stopped you from developing nuclear weapons or?
@TywinLannister0 South Korea. We tried in the 80s, and US said they were going to sanction us if we developed nukes, so we stopped. Then, last year, we tried again. The US still said no
I believe the will of the people should be followed. If they want them. Get them. If not, don’t. Wars and conflicts have been fought and won without nukes for years.
Drumpf going on about everyone paying their way is like the pot calling the kettle black.
Kee-shee-da, not kee-shy-da
Don’t know if the clip of the Japanese PM at the beginning was subtitled by you or is original footage, either way he was speaking quite clearly and the text was wrong.
I wouldn't be surprised if Taiwan has a nuclear program.
It reminded me of a Japanese movie known as The Last War 1961 before The Day After 1983 and Threads 1984.
The new AI voice is meant to be a joke right? 😂😂😂
great video
Your AI voice reader sounds pretty bad and there were at least two mistakes in the text it was reading. I expect better from this channel and hope this gets fixed

Hold On To Ya FARD 🤯
those G7 and G20 summits go HAM.
For reference, 5 out of 9 nuclear superpowers are in asia.
Then a saying will come out like this, they that first victim of nuclear attack in the past will be the first to fire a nuclear weapons in this chaotic modern day. A day that Japan regained their ancestral prowess.
What happened to your fellow presenter, Grant?
Seen him on a few visual economics
Although video mentions about missile range treaty, there is much more serious thing about distrust toward US.
'Would US trade newyork for seoul when NK launch nuke?'
According to nuclear umbrella US must take a risk of US city nuked by NK. However nuclear umbrella haven't activated and people are not sure US would go on to the manual
12:06 I remember saying that a decate ago
For Seoul and Tokyo, the threat of economic warfare from the PRC is a much bigger problem than a military one, and it even outweighs that of a possible hostile exchange from the Kim Dynasty. Japan and S.Korea are very much a developed economy with a very well-to-do society, risking that stability for a favourable militaristic gain is senile for both governments, espacially a democratic one whose citizen still have very fresh memory of war on their soil.
The best strategy is just to put up with whatever a possible Trump presidency is going to bring and continue to rely on American support for as much as possible, and maintaining close cooperation with each other. A nuclear weapon will not bring any benefit to Tokyo and Seoul, neither strategic nor geopolitical leverage; And no matter how hesistant to US is, I dont believe Washington will sit idly when some of their largest forward deployed bases are under Pyongyang or Beijing fire.

Around 12:20 you state DPRK is possibly closer than Japan to becoming a nuclear power, you meant ROK.
I’m not watching this channel anymore. Very biased, they’re not even trying to hide it lol
Orange man bad!!
both Kishida and Yoon have quite low popular support along with their party these days. They cannot make any big policy changes.
Is the ege of the empires coming back?
The North Korean leader is not too difficult to understand. He wants to be militarily powerful so that when the time comes that his country’s citizens rise to demand food, he will point them to the neighbouring countries and tell them, ‘go to where our missiles are landing’.
Is everyone just ignoring the fact that nuclear weapons are far more dangerous than the rest of our modern weaponry? There’s people here saying more nations need nukes for deterrence and people saying no because they worry Japan and South Korea would leave US Military Alliances. What about the threat of nuclear warfare? Does anyone in this comment section know about Fallout or any other fictional series that involves nuclear warfare ending civilization? We need less nukes, not more nukes.
The combination of Chinese aggression and bullying of its neighbors and the increasing unreliability of the US as an ally makes "going nuclear" a pretty obvious choice for both Japan and S Korea. Both countries have the technical capability and, in the case of a Trump second term, it seems almost inevitable that both countries will choose to develop nuclear weapons to deter Chinese aggression. And both Japan and S Korea already have the missile technology needed to make nukes a credible deterrent.
Everybody gangsta are talking about guaranteed nuclear elimination as long as Japan doesn't have nuclear weapons 😂
That way Japan can blame everyone else for waking up Godzilla.
If Japan had the bomb in 1941, when it came to a preemptive nuclear attack they wouldn't of even blinked.
Here you forgot this: "had"

Its interestyng
I click on those fake fluencer scam ads so they pay the ad, and this channel gets some ad revenue.
Ok, so because of China's aggression, South Korea and Japan think they should have nuclear weapons. But they are extremely hesitant, for fear that if they did have them, China would react aggressively.
Well, it looks to me as though they'd better act. When you're that afraid of your bully, it's time to get stronger.
Maybe all four Western-allied democracies should move simultaneously. Maybe South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Australia should all arm themselves with nuclear weapons, and do it now. Perhaps they should also sign a nuclear defence pact, even one that includes the US.
A cute and cuddly panda-bear China seemed a possibility 20 to 25 years ago. But it was never going to happen. That's been clear for over a decade now.
China poses no threat to Koreas or Japan, but it’s the puppet regimes in Japan and South Korea are afraid of China’s retribution when they serve as client bases for US attacks against mainland China.
One sided video.. wast of time
Any country that can make nukes should. it would be in their best interest even if they have no plans of ever using them it’d be foolish not to make them.
Japan has a Good quantity of weapon grade Protonium in storage which is good for a hundred nukes. Appearently they always save a bit when enrich uranium for the nuclear power plant. The only reason Japan did not because of US, So Unless US decide to release Japanese military capability. S Korea don't have enough uranium nor the enrichment technology, So S Korea not likely to create any nukes any time soon. If Trump come into power and decide to pull US bases out of Japan then Japan would most likely become a nuclear power in a year time.
"then Japan would most likely become a nuclear power in a year time" - this will prompt the enforcement of enemy state clauses of UN when a member of the WW2 Axis power trying to gain nuclear weapons.
UN is a joke.
wrong, SK has been researching nuclear armament for decades along their growth in their own nuclear powerplant industry. They all the necessary ingredients and components already and could build a nuclear warhead within a couple of weeks.
@@prastagus3 This is 2024 and that's the UN. China might try, maybe Russia, but Europe and America? They'd say a few words and move on.
@@nickorme8112 perhaps, but that clause will give the others the legal right to stop Japanese nuclear ambitions by violent means. Kishida knew, thus not dumb enough when have such a low popular support.
US can use WW2 era laws, so could others .....
Does anyone think Trump will come and do a full isolationist thing, regional governments enter wars, then towards the end they’ll join and look like they are the only ones who can save the world?
So exact same thing America did for the last two World wars? Yeah probably.
🇺🇸
Trump wasnt about punishing these countries. Hes made them serious about not only depending on the US. Same thing with NATO.
I know the other girl rear the article titles mispronounced lots of stuff, but it was better than A.I.
NOT true...............
Americans: We don't care. American interests first.
Being the world hegemon is in American interests.
@@TeutathisWho needs hegemony when you have a terrifyingly effective expeditionary navy? America can still get it's way and not have to pay for and babysit everyone else.
Given poor US performance in backing South Vietnam, Afghanistan, and abandoning the anti-communist forces in China, forcing them to flee to Taiwan…and US guarantees to defend Ukraine after the USSR fell but takes 6 months to pass aid and tries to micromanage the war….I think every US ally should ditch the US nuclear umbrella, which a country requires US permission to use to defend itself, and develop their own.
Just like France did.
Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan
@@WhiteGirlHeaven so? What about it? Doesn’t mean anything unless there is a will to have your own cities nuked to defend another country. America has shown when it comes to the crunch, it will only fight until it’s inconvenient. Countries that bank their defence on the US are always vulnerable, given the US track record.
Trump is always saying America first, fair enough, but it means his odds of sacrificing to defend another country are very low.
@@WhiteGirlHeaven to repeat again: I don’t think any US president has the stones to risk getting nuked if there was already a nuclear strike on Tokyo.
Their first reaction would be to call the aggressor and ask them how to de-escalate, and warn them that attacking the US would invite a nuclear strike.
The only way nuclear deterrence works is true MAD, when the country has its own sovereign capacity and doesn’t need to ask others to use it to defend themselves.
@@Dhdh365 Let's produce a hypothetical and I don't see why Japan would get nuked again? but Japan can develop nuclear weapons if they wish to. and you're partly right.

Too much anti Trump on multiple videos lately.
Never enough anti Trump. Especially since they aren't attacking him, they made objective and provable statements of what he did and said with the reactions nations had to his nonsense.
Orange man bad!!
Interesting sources they quote like the Washington Post.
More like not enough.
Telling what truthfully happened, is anti-Trump, as he screws things up and then asserts brilliance, and the likes of you, stand, applaud, and worship....................
The korean dude was saying tactical nuclear weapon and my guy continue with radiocative mishroom 😂😂😂
Cmon, let them have the tactical nuke. Just no strategic nuke.
Alternatively, if South Korea and Japan allow CHINESE nuclear weapons to be deployed in their own territories, they would never fear an attack from North Korea or even Russia ever again…
But for that to happen, China must also agree, too.
Political vomit in the middle
Europeans talking about relying too much to n the United States 🤣
Nuclear weapons are overrated.
Japan don't think so.....
Why does any country have to use nuclear weapons against any other regardless of circumstances
Yea why should the states be the world police. Pay for your own defense.
