U.S. will Enforce Economic and Military Sanctions against Japan If Japan Goes Nuclear.

 

日本国憲法は(憲法としては)無効‏@beatWGIP

 日本は自主核を持って独立国になると述べたところ、国務省の高官は、「日本人が自主核を持って独立国になろうとするならば、われわれは経済制裁するぞ、軍事制裁するぞ、それでもいいのか？」と言いました。私はアメリカ人に恫喝されるのはもう慣れっこになっていますから、ニコニコ笑って、「どうぞ、どうぞ、ご勝手に。 もう一回東京大空襲でもやるのはいかがですか？」と答えました。そしてこう付け加えました。「世界中にアメリカの対日政策の本音がばれるから、かえって好都合です。」日下公人・伊藤貫「自主防衛を急げ！」

As I stated "Japan will achieve independence by acquiring nukes." in my talk with a high ranking officer of the U.S. State Department, he smilingly replied "Go ahead! Become independent but we will enforce economic and military sanctions against Japan! Would it be all right with you if we did so?" Then, I said "Go ahead! Please do so. Why not the Great Tokyo Air Raid again! That would be fine with us because the whole world would know all the motives U.S. has kept hiding."  From a book jointly written and published by Mr. Kimindo Kusaka and Mr. Kan Ito

Economic sanctions

Economic sanctions can vary from imposing import duties on goods from, or blocking the export of certain goods to the target country, to a full naval blockade of its ports in an effort to verify, and curb or block specified imported goods.

Well known examples of economic sanctions include the United Nations sanctions against South Africa, United Nations sanctions against Zimbabwe, United Nations sanctions against Iraq (1990–2003) and the United States embargo against Cuba (1962–present). Since 1993 many countries have imposed trade sanctions on Burma (Myanmar). South Africa is the typical case study used for giving sanctions credibility, though that is a contentious claim itself.

On May 13, 1998, the United States and Japan imposed economic sanctions on India, following its second round of nuclear tests. However, these have since been lifted.

In 2001/2002, the United States imposed economic sanctions against the state of Zimbabwe, through the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001 or ZDERA, S. 494, restricting access to financing, debt relief and rescheduling, forcing the government to operate on a cash only basis.

Military sanctions

Military sanctions can range from carefully targeted military strikes to degrade a nation's conventional or non-conventional capabilities, to the less aggressive form of an arms embargo to cut off supplies of arms or dual-use items.
