Hearing fears of Abe's assassination being a Franz Ferdinand moment. China's also moving closer to Taiwan, just in time...
Hadn't even considered that, damn.
The vibe lately has felt kinda similar to what I imagine it felt like pre WW1 for people who actually paid attention to international politics instead of things like not starving. This constant sense of unease, like a big inhale before an uncertain jump.

That's stupid fearmongering, the reason Ferdinand assassination was such a shit show was because there was already high tensions between the countries. Literally nobody has beef with Japan, except Korea and China but that's just Sinos self hatred for each other
 
Isn't Abe the EX Prime Minister? Why would killing him kick anything off? This is like someone killing Obama and it starting WW3

He was (hopefully still is) the East's most significant poltical warrior against Chinese aggression, paper tiger or otherwise. Also, consider that it's been 2 years since his leaving office as the longest serving PM, and Japan's election being literally 2-3 days away, he still holds a lot of clout and sway.

Also, oof...

Almost 4 years to the day.

(That's the cult leader that decided to gas some subways and kill a few hundred people or whatnot.)

Abe was the PM when he was put to death.

Edit: Having said that, if this wasn't a lone wolf nutter, and there's any ties to North Korea or China, well, Japan's at war. And because of our treaties with them, so is the US.
 
Just schizo posting a wild theory but it is possible this was done as a message to someone else entirely. Another contentious former official who will soon be seeking reelection. One with a particularly orange glow.
Too many degrees of separation. You're seeing that shit happen in the US with them going after Trump supporters and ex-officials for bullshit legal harassment.
