Shigeru Ishiba is the new Prime Minister of Japan, a politician with peculiar characteristics that will certainly irritate China and Russia.
Ishiba is a Christian, something uncommon in Japan, and a member of an ultranationalist group that advocates, among other things, for Japan to have nuclear weapons and to abandon the pacifist policy that has governed the country since the end of World War II.
He is also a fervent defender and supporter of Taiwan and advocates for Japan's possession of the Kuril Islands, occupied by Russia in 1945. "Even by force," Ishiba once said.
He is regarded as a man with strong military convictions (he was Minister of Defense) and is dedicated to transforming Japan from an "economic power" into a "military power."
Some say he is the right man for the current moment in the world. What do you think?
