TOKYO - North Korea has set forth a policy that allows for the preemptive use of nuclear weapons. In response to this growing threat, Japan, the United States and South Korea must build deterrence to dissuade North Korea from using nuclear weapons.
This time, the 2013 law has been nullified and the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons have been greatly eased. It can be said that this has created a framework to justify the preemptive use of nuclear weapons under the pretext of an imminent attack by another country. In addition to developing intercontinental ballistic missiles that can reach the US mainland, North Korea has in recent years repeatedly launched short-range ballistic missiles targeting Japan and South Korea. New missiles flying at irregular trajectories or at hyper-sonic speeds are difficult to intercept with existing defence systems in Japan.
Joint drills between a US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the South Korean military will also be conducted off the coast of South Korea. The aim is clearly to hold North Korea in check.
