TOKYO: Japan's new prime minister on Sunday sent a ritual offering to the controversial Yasukuni shrine that honours war dead and is seen by neighbouring countries as a symbol of Tokyo's past militarism.
The shrine in central Tokyo honours 2.5 million war dead, mostly Japanese, who have perished since the late 19th century. Earlier this year, three top ministers paid their respects at the shrine on the anniversary of Japan's World War II surrender.
No issue when Americans pay homage to their soldiers who raped and massacred thousands in Viet Nam, or the British who massacred civilians in Malaya, or the Soviets who raped thousands in Germany, or the French in Indochina. So why should Japan give a damn abt what others think?
The dead is the dead. No need to make it out more than it is.

The fatalities are seven men and one woman, aged between 61 and 89 years. Five of them were unvaccinated, while three were vaccinated. Boring 🙄 Will you ever split the numbers of cases into those cases of vaccinated and unvaccinated people? If more severe cases are reported under unvaccinated people every single day, then those still unvaccinated would see the risks and go for their shots. If we are not abandon the so called “live with covid” plan, what’s the point of showing the figures?
