Former Japanese PM Abe Assassinated

That Japan is supposedly a nice place is not an excuse for "surprise" on the part of bodyguards. They are not some chums at a pub
it is their freaking job to notice potential assailants and also to be proactive in any response. Hanging there waiting for the shooter
to take a second shot is gross incompetence if not treachery. So this may be be an actual CIA operation where not only the shooter
is activated but the bodyguards as well.

I think only the US would be involved. No way China would be as it has no actual motive. Motive is something that is always forgotten
and you can see this in all the propaganda attacks on Putin since 1999. The US is worried about its Japanese colonial plantation escaping
but China cannot be triggered by anti-Chinese rhetoric since everybody and his dog engages in it in Japan. China has nothing to gain from
assassinating Abe whatsoever. In fact, it would have something to lose since Abe was at least not frothing at the mouth against Russia.

BTW, I find the anti-Chinese sentiment in Japan to be grotesque. WTF has China done to the Japs in the last 1000 years? Absolutely
nothing. The Japs have a Poland style inferiority complex vis a vis China. It is the Japs that have done much wrong against China in
recent history. The Chinese view that the Japs are crazy is correct.
