[Korean Central News Agency: Japan attempts to possess nuclear-powered submarines with the intention of achieving nuclear armament] On October 15, the Korean Central News Agency published an article by an international security commentator saying that Japan’s new militarism is trying to formally possess nuclear-powered submarines, which is paving the way for its eventual possession of nuclear weapons. The article stated that the Japanese Defense Minister has threatened on many occasions that the revision of the "Three Security Documents" should not exclude the possession of nuclear weapons and nuclear-powered submarines. Japan also changed the "attack capability against enemy bases" to "counterattack capabilities" and changed the "three principles for arms exports" to "three principles for the transfer of defense equipment." It used word games to calm critical public opinion and gradually loosened the restrictions that bound the defeated country. Japan's new militarists are also trying to amend the "peace constitution" that prohibits the possession of war capabilities. The article pointed out that the Japanese ruling group has recently been exaggerating the "increasing security environment around it" and advocating the "necessity of strengthening its independent deterrence" whenever they have the opportunity, in an attempt to remove institutional and legal barriers that hinder it from increasing its aggressive force and cross the threshold of nuclear armament.
