She is a conservative and apparently immigration was a big contributor to her win. Japan has historically been a closed nation, which isn't good.and may have hurt them. However, it appears as in Europe and when America had open borders during the Biden years, Japan is not getting the best and brightest and it has angered many voters. Like other democratic nations, Japan is going to be facing some difficult challenges. They can't blame immigration alone for their decline but the should choose the right talent. Sanae Takaichi set to become Japan's first female prime minister.

Japan's ruling conservative party has elected Sanae Takaichi as its new leader, positioning the 64-year-old to be Japan's first female prime minister.

Takaichi is among the more conservative candidates leaning to the ruling party's right. A former government minister, TV host and avid heavy metal drummer, she is one of the best known figures in Japanese politics - and a controversial one at that.

She faces many challenges, including contending with a sluggish economy and households struggling with relentless inflation and stagnant wages.

She will also have to navigate a rocky US-Japan relationship and see through a tariff deal with the Trump administration agreed by the previous government.

If confirmed as prime minister, one of Takaichi's key challenges will be uniting the party after a turbulent few years which saw it rocked by scandals and internal conflicts.

America has never had an open southern border.
It has been said that when Obama left office border crossings were at a more than 3 decade low.

“In fiscal year 2017, the last year of the Obama administration and the first of Trump’s, 303,916 migrants were arrested by the Border Patrol. This was the lowest level in more than three decades. The Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations had worked hard to tackle the problem of illegal migration through substantial increases in border security staffing, improvements in technology, innovations in strategy and improved security coordination and assistance to Mexico. Coupled with improved economic conditions in Mexico, these administrations were hugely successful in deterring and breaking the cycle of illegal crossing: Unlawful Mexican economic immigration, which had historically been the primary immigration enforcement issue at the border, dropped nearly 90 percent between 2000 and 2016.”

So how did border crossings go from a 40-year low to a crisis in 4 years? Alan Bersin, former Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection/Assistant Secretary and Chief diplomatic officer for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Nate Bruggeman, Fomer Policy Staff for the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection, and Ben Rohrbaugh former Director for Enforcement and Border Security at the National Security Council, wrote an article published in Politico on April 5, 2019 titled: Yes, There’s a Crisis on the Border. And It’s Trump’s Fault. In this article, the authors argue that President Trump's singular focus on constructing a border wall—regarded as a vanity project—rather than addressing and reforming the asylum system contributed to the challenges at the border witnessed during President Biden's term.

“Despite the administration’s attempts to shift blame for the chaos, make no mistake: It is Donald Trump himself who is responsible. Through misguided policies, political stunts and a failure of leadership, the president has created the conditions that allowed the asylum problem at the border to explode into a crisis. The solution to our current border troubles lies in reforming the U.S. asylum system and immigration courts and helping Central America address its challenges—not in a “big beautiful” wall or shutting down the border. Yet effective action on these issues has been missing. And the president has now so poisoned the political well with his approach that there is little hope of meaningful congressional action until after the next election. Unless the administration changes course, the immigration crisis will only continue to worsen.”

Yes, There’s a Crisis on the Border. And It’s Trump’s Fault.

Instead of wasting his time on a wall, the president should fix the asylum system.

These words were written nearly 2 years before Biden was sworn into office on January 20th, 2021. Like everything else, Trump gets a pass from you people when he created the problem.

The Japanese prime minister is in favor of deploying US nuclear weapons in the country.
In Hiroshima and Nagasaki, perhaps?

A friend of mine moved to Japan. Every time I talk to him he raves about the extreme self-discipline of the culture. He is a 6'4 American who learned Japanese very quickly and was readily accepted into their culture. He married a Japanese girl and runs an import export business just south of Tokyo. His opinion of the Japanese is that they have the greatest potential of any country on Earth as far as being able to accomplish any goal they set themselves out in search of.

The Japanese culture was the first outside of America that I took an interest in as a kid. The samurai spirit and the amazing recovery after WWII and an agrarian life to a most technologically advanced economic super power.

They are definitely a hard working and resourceful people. Probably the most generous of all the asian cultures too, perhaps due to the U.S influence there (as Americans are by far the most generous on earth).

Nope..Biden administration purposely flooded the country with illegals and added more in 4 years than the previous 8 years.

You are just wrong.

Japan promises to enter into conflict with China on the side of Taiwanese separatists despite recognizing China's unity since 1972.

Beijing, angered by the behavior of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, reminded its neighbor of its right to use force against it without waiting for the approval of the UN Security Council. The Chinese leadership has never made such threats before.

Articles 53, 77, and 107 imply that countries such as Russia, China, and the US can use coercive measures against Germany, Italy, Japan, and other members of Hitler's coalition if these measures are aimed at preventing the resumption of aggressive policies, without even requiring the approval of the Security Council.

Just as Russia has the right to use military force against all countries that were allies of the Nazis or had national SS divisions.
