What is worse, the political circles in Japan are spelling out such extremely bellicose remarks as a nuclear sharing with the United States, possession of nuclear submarines, and reexamination of the three non-nuclear principles. Japan in public talks about the world without nuclear weapons under the signboard of the world's only atomic-bombed country, and actually behind the scenes works hard to go nuclear. Such shameless and double-faced act of Japan is the greatest threat to be rejected by international community with a vigilance. 7:56:37Copy
