Japan says U.S. has assured it of nuclear deterrent protection

so we will be sacrificed for US homeland security. thats like 120million people gone here, 51million in south korea, 160thousand guam, and 25million in NK. that is more than all the civilians USA has killed in the middle east since Bush/Bliar "war on terror". world war II was 50 million to more than 80 million.

dont wanna be paranoid, but, enjoy each day to max and don't save money if you live in this region. spend all and enjoy.

forgot to mention, when russia and USA's great buddy Georgia had a short war, america disappeared and returned after it finished...with arm dealers from the good old USA.

US assurances?? I wonder how much they are worth these days...?

Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States of America

*The Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan was signed between the United States and Japan in Washington on January 19, 1960. It strengthened Japan's ties to the "West" during the Cold War era. The treaty also included general provisions.*

ARTICLE III

The Parties, individually and in cooperation with each other, by means of continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid will maintain and develop, subject to their constitutional provisions, their capacities to resist armed attack.

ARTICLE IV

The Parties will consult together from time to time regarding the implementation of this Treaty, and, at the request of either Party, whenever the security of Japan or international peace and security in the Far East is threatened.

ARTICLE V

Each Party recognizes that an armed attack against either Party in the territories under the administration of Japan would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional provisions and processes. Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall be immediately reported to the Security Council of the United Nations in accordance with the provisions of Article 51 of the Charter. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.

ARTICLE VI

For the purpose of contributing to the security of Japan and the maintenance of international peace and security in the Far East, the United States of America is granted the use by its land, air and naval forces of facilities and areas in Japan. The use of these facilities and areas as well as the status of United States armed forces in Japan shall be governed by a separate agreement, replacing the Administrative Agreement under Article III of the Security Treaty between Japan and the United States of America, signed at Tokyo on February 28, 1952, as amended, and by such other arrangements as may be agreed upon.
