[Godzilla] Godzilla attack’s Japan and is wrecking havoc. Can the US military freely engage in combat operations against Godzilla without the permission or consent of the Japanese government?

Let’s say that next Saturday, Godzilla makes landfall in Tokyo and moves across the city causing havoc and destruction. Assuming that the JSDF has not been mobilized yet and/or the Japanese government is rushing to see what the fuck is going on, can say, Carrier Strike Group 5 mobilize to engage Godzilla? Assuming that the US government got word of the attack and gives permission for combat operations to be conducted by USFJ, can the US military independently engage against Godzilla without permission or consent by the Japanese government?

This is a central plot point in *Shin Godzilla*. When Godzilla transforms into its upright form, it starts to spread radioactive contamination everywhere. What’s worse, Godzilla starts it’s ‘budding process’, which would spawn more Godzilla spawn and spread the contamination. 

The JSDF try to destroy Godzilla but fail to even contain him. The USA, which was observing the events, decide that if Japan can’t contain the monster, it’ll nuke Godzilla (and Japan) if there’s no way to stop it conventionally. Obviously, this creates a nationwide existential crisis of being nuked for the 3rd time in history. 

Luckily, Japanese uses it’s greatest power, efficient government beuracracy, to weaponize Tokyo city and drug Godzilla till it stops moving.
