Looks like it. Also, if you watch the collar of his shirt it looks like the impact came quite a bit before you hear the sound in the video.

Not sure what happened here though:

Less hilarious than that unfortunately. One of the comments below mentioned she was knocked down by one of abe security team as he rushed to the shooter. Looking at video again. He is right. Actually might be more hilarious. Depends on your view.

"Lavrov's isolation turned into self-isolation of the West."

This was stated by Maria Zakharova.

At the meeting of the G20 foreign ministers, the ministers of the G7 countries "boycotted" Lavrov: they refused to be photographed with him and did not come to the diplomatic dinner.

At the same time, the Russian Foreign Minister met with colleagues from China, Argentina, Brazil, India, Indonesia and other countries.

Abe's assassination is going to be a gift to the current (IMO China-friendly) Japanese PM.

Abe yielded tremendous influence in Japanese politics. Although there are some delusions that his stance will now be widely adopted, I doubt it.

A strong leader holding up the banner for something is extremely important. With him gone, Kishida might be opening a champagne tonight

From the latest Guanqi podcast, it seems like there's more behind the latest drills around Taiwan as well as the sudden call between Mark Milley and Li Zuocheng.

It's around ~40-50 minutes? Where they talk about it, and it seems like the US kind of wanted to have their carrier pass through the Taiwan strait, which would be a major slap on China's face (remember statements about the strait not being international waters).

For those who don't listen to Guanqi, here's what happened according to them:

After the Australian P-8 incident where they got a face full of chaff, they complained to the US in a "daddy I got bullied!" type way. To placate the Australian and with support from the UK the Americans decided the best way to slap China was to sail a CSG (I'm guessing USS Ronald Reagan) through the Taiwan strait.

USN publish position of their carriers about once a week, then around last week they didn't, at the same time the CSG went radio silent and did all their cold war era tricks to shake off PLA ISTAR and was successful and went missing for a few days.

PLA then was able to pick them up again and realized from the new position of the CSG what they were up to. PLA mobilized and made the RN assets realize they are in danger so they backed off, but the USN was determined to go ahead with it.

PLA then further mobilized something big time and made USN realize they may be about to become headline news across the globe, much bigger than Abe getting shot so they finally backed off.

. After the call everything seems more or less back to normal and the Americans are backing off for now. To cover up the mobilization PLA is now doing a

This isn't great. I hope the PLA learns from this and gets better at maintaining a continuous track. We can't have an American CSG "going missing" for a few days in a war.

Really? Kishida just had a very anti china speech at NATO and Abe's death may allow them to change their constitution. I wonder if the right wing nationalists and CIA planned this assassination.

Abe was taken to hospital in cardiopulmonary arrest and showing no vital signs. He was declared dead at 5:03 p.m. (0803 GMT), having bled to death from deep wounds to the heart and the right side of his neck.

He had received more than 100 units of blood in transfusions over four hours, Hidetada Fukushima, the professor in charge of emergency medicine at Nara Medical University Hospital, told a televised news conference.

apparently a japanese unit of blood is 200 ml, so 20 litres in 4 h

LOL. Not just yet. Western Europe is yet to experience a proper collapse. It's coming soon though. USA and Japan will take awhile longer, but screw them, they are still next.

The pieces are slowly setting themselves up though. China is diverting most of its energy imports from the Middle East to Russia. The BRI overland trade routes are getting busier. So any potential blockade of the Malacca Straits is gonna hurt China less than before. At least there are safer alternative routes now. Now the Indians are giving Chinese companies good reasons to exodus out of India. At the same time, India is also having trouble holding onto non-Chinese MNCs like Ford and Datsun. The PLA is doing regular live-fire exercises at Tibet and Xinjiang. The Chinese MIC is very busy now with ammunition and supply orders. So the PLA is ready to go with India at Aksai Chin.

When EU starts to really feel the hurt at the end of the year. That'll be a good time to give India an ass whooping. But China cannot initiate that. That honor must be given to India and Modi. China should just squeeze India harder in the meantime.

Before any war with India starts, I think China should do these things:
1) More military exercises. Put more pressure on India.
2) Pullout any remaining FDIs going into India.
3) Divert API exports from India to Chinese pharma companies to allow them to outcompete Indian pharmas. Let the Indian pharmas procure more expensive APIs elsewhere and lose their price competitiveness.
4) Declare India an 'unfriendly country'. Ask India to pay for Chinese imports in Yuan. USD and Rupees are no longer accepted.
5) Build up the 'String of Pearls' for real this time. They fantasized it, they are getting it.
6) Pull Bhutan into China's orbit. Offer military protection to Bhutan against any Indian attempt to annex or bully it.
7) Recognize the independence of Kashmir, Sikkim, and the North Eastern states from India's despotic occupational rule.
8) Prepare to select the 15th Dalai Lama in Tibet. The holy grounds for Dalai Lama selection are all in Tibet. Have the Tibetans choose him. Denounce any Dalai Lama selected in India as an Indian fake.
9) Sanction Ambani's and Adani's businesses. Not allowed to do any business with China.
10) Sanction Indian politicians. Start with the smaller ones, then move slowly up the ladder towards Modi himself. They cannot freely enter China or make any indirect income from China anymore.

If China does all of this by the end of the year I'm gonna be happy as hell!
