   Japan News Update: After a power struggle in the ruling party, Japan is set to have a new PM. Globalist puppet Fumio Kishida is out. Model-building military otaku Shigeru Ishiba is in.

   Only time will tell if he's any less of a globalist puppet, but his positions re: Japan's military capability & regional independence are definitely fresh air after that limp rag Kishida.

   The markets have responded locally to the news. JPY dropped against the US Dollar today, lower than its been in a while.

     @luithe Maybe things look different from the JP side. It's getting a lot of play in the news cycle right now.

     Why doesn't markets like the new guy? Or do markets always react negatively to any change?

     @Jens_Rasmussen Ishiba is seen as a political outsider, more of a hawkish nationalist with unconventional views and more of a "idgaf" attitude about them. Change always spooks bankers.
