A Secret Agreement Between the U.S. and Japan Makes Japanese Ports and Airports the U.S. Nuclear Bases

Japan has adopted the three non-nuclear principles. However, a secret agreement between the U.S. and Japan has enabled the U.S. to ruin it and put the world in danger of a nuclear conflict.

Japan has been made nuclear attacks twice, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and is the only nation to be hit by atomic bombs in the world.

Japanese public opinion has opposed nuclear weapons. Especially after the U.S. carried out a thermonuclear test at the Bikini Atoll in March 1954, irradiating the Marshall Islands residents and ships that fished around the Atoll, including Japanese Daigo Fukuryu Maru. The Japanese citizens voluntarily started a movement against atomic and hydrogen bombs and collected 32,590,907 signatures by September 1955. The number was approximately 60% of the population over 15.

On December 11, 1967, Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato stated at Diet that Japan was not to own nuclear weapons, neither to produce nor to allow them into the country. This statement is called the three non-nuclear principles and was one reason Sato received the 1974 Nobel Peace Prize. In 1971, the Diet adopted a resolution on observance of the principles. As of 2023, an opinion poll showed that 80 percent of Japanese people considered Japan should maintain the three non-nuclear principles. However, the U.S. had brought nuclear weapons into Japan and is still able to do so.
