Somehow I suspect the ChiComs are behind this. They are primed to make their move and Japan is a force they have to deal with.

Not so sure former PM Shinzo Abe was offed last year and there were internal repercussions to the assassination within the ruling party in Japan.

There was a crackdown on Unification Church influence inside the Liberal Democratic Party.

My guess is Nork, but it could be CCP or just a nutcase.

The location was within miles of the Kansai airport.

Why? Most likely patriots who think that Kishida is an American puppet.

The BBC story on this describes a smoke bomb not sure of the ability of such a bomb to hurt anyone.

“Japan now buying Russian oil.”

Great point - they made the Neocons look VERY WEAK when they stood up to them and went through with buying the oil.

I guess it’s now time for the Neocons to put Japan’s government in their place.

I’m in Japan . Kishida is unpopular , especially amongst young people . and is viewed by many as a USSA puppet , just like all prior LDP Prime Ministers have been , for the most part .
