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