Defense Minister Inada just officially announced at presser that she will resign

  • Japanese PM Abe apologises to the nation over the resignation

(seriously!)

  • Abe says foreign minister Ishida will add defence to his responsibilities
  • Abe says he bears full responsibility for choosing Inada as defence minister

Oh wow ... US politics is so much more fun .... Open warfare at the White House - the adults-only rant that'll tear the place apart

Tomomi Inada in happier times
