I am impressed By Mr Shiu's analysis on the N and S Korea crisis. With respect to the nuclear bomb ownership, I have a hypothetical question for Mr Shiu: If a nuclear capable big power (like China) bombs a nuclear incapable country (like Japan) with nuclear bombs to a devastating level, what will the reaction and action of the United States be?
My guess will be as follows: Economic sactions will ensue. But there won't be any military retaliation, since retaliation will mean nuclear involvement. If US bombed China with nuclear weapon, China would still be able to do retaliation nuclear attack (according to their information).
In other words, two nuclear big powers cannot go to large scale war( as mentioned by Mr Shiu) . And importantly, the countries that have been "protected" by the US with nuclear power are not that safe, since US cannot and will not retaliate with nuclear weapons (unless the attack is on US soil) ....That is the reason why we see so many small countries like Iran, N Korea, Israel,.. developing nuclear power to have an insurance!
