Career
Shinzō Abe "spent considerable effort" to facilitate Japan's remilitarization.[1] The deep political purposes of this remain unclear.
First tenure
Abe became Prime Minister of Japan on 26 September 2006. He announced a new cabinet on August 27, 2007. However, the new agricultural minister Takehiko Endo, involved in a finance scandal, resigned only 7 days later. On September 12, 2007, only three days after a new parliamentary session had begun, Abe announced his intention to resign his position as prime minister at an unscheduled press conference.[2][3] Abe said his unpopularity was hindering the passage of an anti-terrorism law, involving among other things Japan's continued military presence in Afghanistan. Party officials also said the embattled prime minister was suffering from poor health.[4] On September 26, 2007 Abe officially ended his term as Yasuo Fukuda became the new Prime Minister of Japan.
Second tenure
He became Prime Minister of Japan again on 26 December 2012. In March 2015, he announced a plan to rebuild the Japanese intelligence agencies, using the UK's MI6 as a model. The Intelligence agencies were dismantled by the Allies after World War II.
The Kyodo news agency reported that on 22 April 2015, a drone with traces of radiation was landed on top of Abe's office, carrying a camera and a small bottle with the radioactive symbol. Tests found it was carrying a small amount of radioactive caesium, reported. Abe was in Indonesia at the time, attending an Asian-African conference.[5]
On 24th April, radioactive contamination was discovered in a park in Tokyo.[6]

Rating
8 August 2023 Jun A very important figurehead in Japanese politics during the rise of China in the early 2000s.As grandson of a WW2 vet, CIA liaison and possible deep state aligned-cult leader, Abe aggressively turned Japan slowly into a possible Ukraine of Asia against China. The fact he also had a very archaic and unapologetic way about the past or its ability to learn from it, perhaps shows the peace in Asia in this century is not a given.
