“I will ensure Japan emerges from deflation,” he said, promising to accelerate Kishida’s policies aimed at boosting household income through wage hikes."

I haven't seen anything that suggests Ishiba is an inflation hawk. And as former defense minister, he's going to accelerate Japan's defense spending further and counter Chinese threat in the region. Which will boost economy.

Japan has struggled with deflation for decades. Inflation has been a welcome development for them. With an aging population and low birth rates, they aren't in danger of heading into hyper inflation.

Basically trying to bring Ukraine back to stone age. Ukraine needs to do the same to Russia. War is fucked.

This will force the hand of US and EU to sanction China one way or another. Of course diplomatic solutions can be worked out. What it will be has yet to be seen. As you're aware, China has tried to avoid supplying arms directly to Russia until this move. It maybe that Chinese will manufacture the drones in Russia to avoid being seen as exporting arms.

Time to put sanctions on China. This would be interesting.

India has invited political and military opponents of Myanmar's ruling junta to attend a seminar in New Delhi, sources said, a significant move by the South Asian power that has maintained ties with the top generals shunned by Western nations.

It is worth noting that China is supplying arms to both sides of the conflict.
