is this really news to anyone?
several countries around the world host nukes in remote locations
SLBMs aren't the same as ICBMs deployed on mainland. SLBMs are part of heavy underwater carrier (submarine) which belongs to certain country of so-called Nuclear Club
When you place nuclear weapon on a territory of some foreign country, you automatically convert this territory into a target for possible nuclear counter-attack. Plain and simple. I don't think Japan would be happy to become a primary target for Russian/Chinese/North Korean ICBMs armed by nuclear and thermo-nuclear warheads just for the sake of American interests.
