Weren’t there some tensions between Russia and Japan lately over the Japanese islands that Russia controls and Japan wants to take them back?

I really hope he recovers, it could really affect world's politics after everything going on rn... like a war or something.... Yeah thats what makes me think it is a nutter rather than a government funded political assassin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROPICUM Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Apparently 'heart failure' is the term Japan's media use for death before an official statement is made. The shooter better be Japanese or else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A premeditated assassination “attempt” The way the BBC, CNN, ABC (Australia) & DW are not running this live is truly pathetic. Then they wonder why the rest of Asia don’t feel concern by Ukraine when they consistently ignore Asia. thank god for the Indian channels. CNN is covering it live and has been since the news broke. In fact, they’re airing the CNN International feed instead of the normal repeat broadcast of AC360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
