Japan Is Getting Its 1941 On

Japan is getting into its wayback machine for a little inspiration. The country is considering whether or not to launch preemptive strikes on missile bases in North Korea. Japan was a little more than freaked out by North Korea’s missile tests last week and is now discussing whether a strike would be a violation of the Japanese constitution.

The country currently has a pacifist constitution, which means an attack would have to be justified as self-defense. The constitution forbids the use of the Japanese military in international disputes and prohibits funding of the military for war. But the heads of government are said to be meeting to discuss the possibility of an attack. Precedent was set years ago with a pre-emptive strike on Godzilla.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe said: "If we accept that there is no other option to prevent an attack, there is the view that attacking the launch base of the guided missiles is within the constitutional right of self-defense.

One hiccup in the plan is the fact Japan has no ballistic missiles, only ground-to-air missiles and ground-to-vessel missiles.

South Korea was not keen on the idea, as they will be the nation that suffers the most in a war with their northern neighbors. South Korea President Roh Moo-hyun talked a little smack.
There is no reason to fuss over this from the break of dawn like Japan, but every reason to do the opposite.

Come on guys, focus. Keep your eye on the prize. Godzilla is still out there. Don’t even get me started about Rodan and Mothra.
