Japan Elections Counting Ongoing
Should be finished "soon." A few hours? Don't know, but "soon."
Am here in Japan watching elections with Masako Ganaha. LDP appears to be losing many seats. Let’s see. Economy bad. Ishiba and cabinet are pro-PRC. Estimated 600,000 dead from jabs.
Masako knows many of the politicians involved. Tomorrow will be good to ask for her perspective.
Today was voting day. Peaceful. Not like the firefights and fighting I was in Thailand, Iran, Afghanistan — and the crazy U.S. “elections.” A politician Masako knows (Saya) was threatened with murder during the run-up. In the image above, Saya is in the lower-left wearing white dress. Masako knows Saya well. Masako and I also met with Kamiya (lower-right, orange shirt) at his office.
Japan’s elections are increasingly disturbed but not so much as USA.
Japan is by far America’s most important ally. Thus I am here in Japan and not in Tel Aviv or London. Been a long week here.
The photo below is wallpaper at a normal hotel. Japan is not like other places. America must treat our relationship with Japan with special care.

The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.

The hardest post I have had to write.
General Erik Kurilla is one of the most physically courageous and capable Soldiers I’ve ever know. Extremely smart. Extremely competent. Extremely aggressive.
Related question- what is your and Masako’s assessment of Abe’s assassination- were the press reports accurate on what happened?
Michael, could you please explain why Japan is America's most important allie.
