japanese kamikaze pilots weren't motivated by poverty and despair
they were motivated by political group pressure and belief in gaining some reward

it's the same thing

they do it because they are pissed off. They use that method because they are poor, and it is the most effective means open to them.

No, because if they had nukes, they would be rich.
