A: Hey! Did you hear anything crazy in the news today?
B: No! What's up?

A: Apparently, someone high up in the Prime Minister’s office said Japan *should* have nuclear weapons!

B: Seriously?! Wow! That’s…a big statement.

A: Yeah! They said it's because things are getting tense with security around the world. Japan feels like it needs to be stronger.

B: But… Japan has always been super against nuclear weapons, right? Those Three Non-Nuclear Principles?

A: Exactly! They’re really important because of the bombings in the past. It’s a really sensitive topic.

B: So, are they actually going to change those principles then?

A: Well, the official said it would be a *huge* political cost to do it.

B: So, probably not?

A: Exactly. The Prime Minister, Takaichi, says they’re sticking to those principles for now.

B: She didn’t say much about changing the wording either, huh?

A: Nope. She basically dodged the question! It's a complicated situation.
