Japan isn’t as threatened as Taiwan, but is still liable to earthquakes, tsunamis, and is uncomfortably close to both North Korea and Russia.

>uncomfortably close to both North Korea and Russia North Korea has a main beef with South Korea and is full of starving people equipped with WW2 tech has no airforce and some nukes with questionable functionality, while Russia can't even move past Eastern Ukraine with all its power let alone venture into other areas. How are they a threat to other nations?

  > nukes with questionable functionality They seem to have ballistic missiles and they don't need to be particularly accurate to hit somewhere in Tokyo.

  North Korea is currently involved in a proxy war in Europe, so it can't be that short on resources.

    All tgey have decades worth of production of artillery shells for Soviet guns, AK-style rifkes and ammo for those. Stockpiles, basically. And even those will run out. And before that happens, North Korea will slow down deliveries to Russia, after all the massive ammount of conventional guns pointed at Seoul are one of North Koreas trumo cards.

    They are not really involved, as in active participation. They are sinply selling their outdated goods, which further proves for weak and poor they are.

      It’s also not a proxy war

  They dont need to conquer the country, they just need to damage the factory.

  North Korea has a major beef with Japan. They’re still holding a grudge over being occupied in WW2. Interestingly a bunch of NK’s aging infrastructure was supposedly built by the Japanese.
