Interesting how closely they follow our election, how well-informed they are on American politics.

Honestly if the rest of the world (not including Canada, Western Europe, Australia which are too spoiled and leaning deludedly to the left at the moment....)

But if EVERY OTHER major country were voting...I even include countries we consider “enemies” and totally different religions — there’d be NO CONTEST. TRUMP WOULD WIN!

The Japanese couldn’t believe that the US voted Obama as a President. They understood what he represented and intended to do.

I’m here now and it took them a few hours to even run the story. I was pretty surprised at how long it took them, but they’ve been quite objective about it.

Their newspapers are very good.
The Yomiuri Shimbun
Mainichi Shimbun
Even the English Japan Times
All do a good job of covering international news.

“Interesting how closely they follow our election, how well-informed they are on American politics.”

It truly is interesting, yet, not unexpected. Let us be real. America went from securing your fighters, to Clod Hoppers to fighters, to saving two continents and winning two world wars.

Euphoric over temporary peace, our citizen elections choices allowed in piss poor leaders. We slipped in Korea and Vietnam, not because of our heroic troops. In truth, America’s valiant leaders aged, died off or were killed off. A young America without true Statesmen (men and women) to guide, assumed a Super Power status.

Following the USSR fall, pathetic REPUBS inherited the lead position and capitulated. Scared and inept, they collaborated with the Communists, the MEGA wealthy and against we the US citizens. They sent American jobs, our wealth, our futures and our safety of overseas to form a “New World Order”. They all felt better about themselves but f’d us!

The entire cabal made deals screwing each every flag waving American, every God fearing person and they allowed our current situation. The so called washington elite, padding their pockets and setting up their kids/close friends...well here we are now.

American citizens are becoming more aware of our perilous conditions and the world situation day by day. Make no mistake, the rest of the world sees our condition and they know the ramifications too.

This citizenry of our failing Super Power will determine our fate and likely the earths fate. Sad, how many know the 3 branches of government, how many can name the VP or have read our Constitution?

So, the fate of America and the world boils down to an American citizens choice of communists, lead by a grifter skeleton pumped with drugs or a man that has taken bullets for his country, risked his family and risked his wealth taking for us?

We shall see if “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor” resonates any longer.

Stand-by!

The Japanese are very circumspect when talking about the Trump assassination attempt incident.

They all are connected to the kami principle, it is an indelible part of their culture. They all intrinsically know that the kami saved Trump's life. That is to say it would have been kami from their point of view that have protected President Trump, It also puzzles them why Shinzo Abe did not have such protection from the kami.

Yes, Abe was shot from behind by a person with a make shift shot gun, while his security stood their watching in complete surprise. His back area was completely exposed, and the area unsecured.

The motive was about a Unification Church wrong done to the perp’s mother.The perp thought Abe supported the Unification Church.

Abe and Trump were very close friends.

The early post-Cold War was dominated by the Clintons. The Soviet Union collapsed in August 1991 and Clinton's inauguration was January 1993.

Abe’s assassination is as well understood as the attempt on Trump. They were friends, I believe, and the real assassins are the same.

When The Potato was installed, Abe was already on the docket to come to the WH for a visit (with Trump). Abe wasn’t in the inner circle who could see The Potato as he was, so he got passed off to the cackling Hyena. Then he got assassinated.

That is the best of my understanding.

I hope you’re right. Even if it were true it won’t matter as long as those in power remain tyrants and successfully steal elections. Every ordinary Joe Blow could admit the truth but it wouldn’t change things. Our only power is at the ballot box (or, as Biden says, the “battle box”) and that power has been confiscated.

At about the 2:25 mark a woman was asked about Trump raising his fist. She said something about how that was good, that he is going to still fight to become president.

I suppose some Americans think that - but as a conservative, I take it that WE need to fight, and not give up hope. Some commentators were saying how the response of the crowd - helping those injured, not panicking and trampling each other to leave the venue (one exit), etc. was America at its finest.

Or perhaps most thought it was firecrackers. There was a husband and wife interviewed. The husband thought it was fireworks at first. His wife said something like “I’ve hunted and shot all my life - I knew right away it was gunfire and told him to get down!”

I expect Trump to have an insurmountable lead at 10 pm on election night, but that lead will evaporate between 4 and 6 am the next morning. The key difference is that the fraud will be so massive that the courts won't be able to ignore it this time.

It’s going to be very interesting if America wakes up on the Weds after the election and if EVERYONE says, “Well, Joe stole the election”. Then what happens?

Interesting. Certainly smarter and more well spoken than on the street interviews in the USA. Clearly most were “up” on the issues.

Mainly left me impressed with Japan.

I will say, the handful of bitter anti-Trumpers in the mix look just like typical leftists in the USA. There’s a “look” that spans countries.

They absolutely will ignore it. The chart/graph of the returns in 2020, by hour, was 100% proof of the steal. Yet here we are with a veggie in the Oval Office.
