I agree with you. I don’t know much about Shinzo Abe other than the changes in Defence and wanting Japan to take a bigger role in the world. China and both Koreans went a little hysterical about the talks of rebuilding of the Japanese Navy. I do remember he keep the refugees out of his country during the crisis.

From what I have read sounds like a lot of his politics and policies were like Trump just a little more pro Japanese (race). This is an upgrade to what we have in the west. The thing I got from the problems of Japan is the focus of free market economy and GNP over the real Domestic problems such as low birth rates.

We assuredly live in strange times, my friend. Russia is indeed the defender of Christendom now, despite their rather broken Orthodox approach to the True Faith. I have substantial disagreements with their doctrine and dogma, and on their emphasis on fear and religiosity over faith and forgiveness, but I have no doubt that the Orthodox Church is by far the most red-pilled of modern denominations.

That is not to say that Russia has overcome all of its greatest flaws. Divorce and abortion remain rampant there. The situation is improving, from what I can tell, but it has a very long way to go before the population there starts to expand naturally in the right and proper manner of fruitful and healthy sexual relations between married men and women.

As for Shinzo Abe – I must beg ignorance as to the man himself, as I simply do not know enough about Japanese politics and structures to have much of an opinion. From what I remember of him during my time in Asia, he was a very capable politician who really worked the Japanese system with immense skill. I also know that he wanted to rearm Japan and expand the power of the government, while attempting (and failing) to reform the country’s economy. But these are just broad-stroke points, and I lack any knowledge of the details. I have no particular view on his visits to the Yasukuni War Memorial either, since I have no axe to grind against the Japanese occupation of Asian nations, though I know that the Japanese themselves tend to be pretty touchy about it.

I think that the best take on his death was from Vox Day. He believes that Abe was yet another Clown World globalist tool – perhaps he was, and perhaps he was not, I am neutral on this subject. But Vox believes that Abe’s calls for moderation with respect to Russia could not be tolerated by the Japanese establishment. Here, I agree with him. I believe that Japan is effectively an American colony and vassal state, and Abe’s power and influence within the LDP was winning over too many Japanese politicians who wanted to end the economic war of attrition with Russia. Japan is losing that war, badly. The effective nationalisation of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project was a severe blow to Japanese pride and prestige, as well as to its economy, which needs that LNG for manufacturing and technology outputs.

Abe’s murder – I am unwilling at this point to call it an assassination, as this implies a political motive, and this is circumstantial right now – was shocking, especially to my Japanese friends. But I think that it MAY have been a warning to the rest of the Japanese establishment: comply with the Empire of Lies, or be destroyed.

Hey Didactic what are your thoughts on the death of the former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe? He was shot while giving a campaign speech in Nara.

Anyway I hope you are doing well
