Two shots were fired. The first seemed to miss. The man did not flee; he just squatted down and waited to be arrested, as per NHK. pic.twitter.com/VmfCqqEvZv

Shinzo Abe was a critic of the New World Order and was re-elected for a rare second term in 2012 with a mandate to defend his country from the Chinese Communist Party and their friends in the highest echelons of the United Nations.

Shinzo Abe has been one of the fiercest anti-communists in all of Asia and was never afraid to stand up to the CCP. He dedicated his life to defending his country

Abe was never afraid of speaking his mind, recently criticizing the Western response to the war in Ukraine, pointing out that Ukraine Prime Minister Zelensky was responsible for the conflict.
