Related question- what is your and Masako’s assessment of Abe’s assassination- were the press reports accurate on what happened?

As one might imagine, there much suspicion about Abe's murder. Some think it was about an Abe idea of buying energy from Russia. But I do not know.

All the rest of our allies either are very weak, or in the case of Israel -- not an ally at all, and very weak and non-existent without USA. U.K. is on glide path to total destruction. Europe on whole in similar situation. Canada, Australia, etc., are deeply invaded and have lost the critical mass. Japan still has an economy of its own and is in a critical area of the world. A very critical area.

How dare you have a reply like that!

You could hurt people with it.

Don't you know to omit what must not be said and named? To water things down, take the edge off and even obfuscate in a professional way?
