Oh yes, nearly forgot. Japan is a pacifist nation, forever morally superior to the oiks in North Korea who think exploding a nuclear bomb is a clever thing to do. It's not funny and it's not clever. But it may be profitable.
Seems recession has a way of focussing the mind: Japan may be ready to give the arms-sellers of the world a gunrun for their money. Eh? Apparently, if this sourceless report, but usually reliable site has it right,
Japan is poised to rejoin the international arms trade.
Allow Our Man to summarise:
North Korea shows off its technical expertise to try to flog some seriously deadly weapons = V. bad threat to world security.
Japan shows off its technical expertise to try to flog some seriously deadly weapons = V. good investment opportunity.
Pic forcefully lifted from here. By the way, the first Rambo movie was actually pretty good. Seriously.

Could do it like my home country Sweden: Make a fortune selling weapon systems, but only to countries that promise not to use them. Excepting the US of course, as they buy a lot and pay really well. Seriously. It's the law.
Transparent fig leaf to cover a morally bankrupt double standard? You bet. But it pays well.
I love arms races.the eighties was my favourite decade and look at the music it produced

JM- We're all bankrupt, might as well be morally too.
DK - Pleasant surprise to see Nina. Though knew immediately it was gonna be Joe Dolci, so didn't waste valuable time cutting and pasting. Have to say though, the 80s sucked for music, in Our Man's humble opinion. Hated Duran Duran then, still do, though less so now that they are never on the radio.
