    Japan needs a Sanseito leader. Without Shinzo Abe, theres no one else but Sanseito. Japan is for the Japanese. the rest of the world loves Japan for its tradition and culture. Everyone else is trying to destroy it and import 3rd worlds or censor and control everything.

    Hoping Japan gets a new, strong PM, who can direct the country towards a successful future and stand up against China’s warmongering and troublemaking in the South China Sea.
    Don’t elect a weakling on that issue.

    One left and woke politician less. That is good news. No one wants mass migration from a specific group. It is enough when they ruin West Europe.

    Lesson learned. Don't push to flood your nation with hostile foreign hordes. No to mass migration. No to internal subversion. Put your nation and people before international interests and so called world leaders.

    Japan Has always ever since the war, Has never been ill-fated towards United States. Hopefully a New PM will be welcomed, and Japan will stop putting up with China attacking them in the S. China sea. Hopefully Motegi we get it.

    All this comes in the wake of Ishiba’s announcement to flood Japan with immigration as a “solution” to population decline.

    The response? Protests erupt before a single policy even takes effect. Coincidence? Hardly. World leaders would be wise to pay attention because what’s happening there will find its way to your doorstep sooner or later.

    GDP is a number on a sheet, nothing more. You can dress it up with charts and projections, but at the end of the day, it’s meaningless compared to the one thing people value most:identity. Keeping one’s core traditions and values matters far more than some abstract measure of economic health.

    The truth is simple: people are fed up with multiculturalism, because it doesn’t work. You cannot erase millions of years of evolutionary instinct and hardwired tribal behavior with a policy, a slogan, or the stroke of a pen.

    Humans will divide. If not by race, then by class. If not by class, then by creed, ideology, or even arbitrary preference. Tribalism is not a bug "it is the default setting of the human condition."

    Need proof? Look no further than the Abrahamic religions. Three faiths, born from the same region, worshiping the same God. Yet for thousands of years they’ve fought bitterly, not over reality itself, but over the words in archaic texts. If people cannot unite even under the same God, what makes you think they’ll unite under the artificial banner of “diversity”?

    It was a clever experiment, a noble attempt to keep the Ponzi scheme going. But the cost has proven far too great for the common man "who in some cases now has little more than their individual & cultural identity."

    And it needs to end, ideally before things start burning and order is lost for good.

    It is very unfortunate for the Japanese people to have lost an excellent leader like Ishiba. I believe this is a significant loss not only for Japan but also for the United States and the world for the following reasons:
    1. Understanding of Military Affairs: Mr. Ishiba is the only politician in Japan who comprehends the military balance among nations and can engage in Asian diplomacy for peace while maintaining the status quo.
    2. Diplomatic Orientation Towards Peace: He loves peace and dislikes war. His commitment to seeking peace in Asia should be highly regarded. The negotiations for "mutual benefit" conducted multiple times by Minister Akazawa, whom Ishiba respects, are a good example of his diplomatic stance. This philosophy embodies the "spirit of harmony."
    3. A politician capable of diplomatic negotiations with a spirit of harmony. He possesses the humility to sincerely apologize for Japan's past war crimes and can engage in diplomatic negotiations that promote mutual understanding and development. In contrast, politicians like Shinzo Abe and Taro Aso are more stereotypical.
    If you were to collaborate with Ishiba to take action towards ending wars globally, I believe it would yield positive results. Many Japanese citizens have high expectations for an Ishiba cabinet, as public opinion polls showed support rates exceeding 60%. However, he was ousted due to ugly schemes from opposing factions within the Liberal Democratic Party, as reported by a corrupt media landscape aimed at foreign audiences.

    He was a puppet of China.
    It has been known for several years that he was the victim of a honey trap set by China.
    He is the worst prime minister in history, who assisted China in its acts of aggression, distributed large amounts of money to immigrants, and destroyed Japan in just one year.
