The following is from an article by E. Luttwak that appeared on the front page of today's Sankei Shimbun titled "Japan's Security: A Fundamental Change.
It is a must-read not only for the Japanese people but for people worldwide.
Readers know I have written many times about Shinzo Abe as one of the few politicians in the postwar world.
I have also written that he was one of Japan's best and one of the world's most insightful politicians in politics, economics, and diplomacy.
Shinzo Abe had insights that the leftist pedophile academics and economic commentators who dominate Japanese universities and follow Marxian economics, which has been historically proven to be a crapshoot, either peddled by the Ministry of Finance or paid for by the Asahi Shimbun, could not keep up with even if they stood on their head.
His opening article has a crucial passage that most people would have skipped over.
It is a passage that reveals what genius is.
Preamble omitted.
Abe never studied strategy as an academic subject, but he understood it instinctively and was born with a strategic mindset.
Post-sentence omitted.
