Japanese PM urges Assad to step down for alleged chemical weapons attack
He keeps getting away with it 😳
I can’t help but imagine Assad as Agent 47 going around and assasinating people and making them resign after they said someting bad about him🤣

Shotgun blasts through the chest. He’s not coming back from this one chief.
If only they had treated DPRK better, then Kim would use a battle rez
The initial reports were so weird. It was like “Japanese ex pm collapses, shots heard nearby”. like what??
Journalists all rushing to push out the story first before everybody else because capitalism so they just wrote down whatever they could confirm, even if finding out more crucial details like it was a shotgun took a few more minutes
I mean a few inches away does qualify as nearby I guess
not possibly. definitely.

Why now?
‘no vital signs’

I just read a NPR summary and the way they gloss over who he is/was and who is “blue blood” fascist father was makes me sick
Who were his family?
His maternal grandfather was very high up in the Imperial Japanese government during WWII, prior to that he had a leadership role in the genocidal Japanese occupation of China. Kishi was never punished for his actions and was rewarded with a post war position as Japanese PM.
“After World War II, Kishi was imprisoned for three years as a suspected Class A war criminal. However, the U.S. government did not charge, try, or convict him, and eventually released him as they considered Kishi to be the best man to lead a post-war Japan in a pro-American direction. With U.S. support, he went on to consolidate the Japanese conservative camp against perceived threats from the Japan Socialist Party in the 1950s.”

I think that quote is straight from Wikipedia. There was also a two or three part Behind the Bastards podcast episode on him. I know the podcast and people behind it are problematic but that doesn’t mean they can’t do good episodes once in a while.

I hope this is the first step towards the decolonization of Japan and towards Japanese socialism.
