RIP Shinzo Abe
If you're a nationalist you get shot, is the message. Expect things to get really fucking awful from now on

That photo is from October 21, 2019 and has nothing to do with the current NATO fgtry.
Ukraine has been asking to join NATO since the 1990s, officially since 2002 (positively received by NATO with the signing of the NATO-Ukraine Action Plan in November of the same year).
The president in 2002 was Kuchma, before picking Yanukovych (then his prime minster, and currently a traitor in Moscow) as his successor. This what he said in 2022:
Kuchma, Yushchenko, Poroshenko (who has just been on trial accused of treason for his dealings with the separatists but now is leading his own fighting unit), all are united behind Zelensky in the defense of the nation.
(They might well start bickering again after it is over.)
That shit doesn't mean shit for shit because the photo is from Abe meeting leaders of tons of shithole countries so it's not an endorsement of any of the current eastern european slap-fighting one way or the other.

Oh no, Abe was proudly bankrolling the "vile feminist regime"!
At the time of the visit,
Also just showed it to Imp to calm him down because he was seriously tripping.
Not to forget... Japan has the Kurile Islands issue with Russia. Russia should stay out of Japanese land!
Obviously, I don't agree with the batshit claims trying to connect this to Ukraine, but I would not say that he is a 'traitor' for having had to flee for his life by 'peaceful' 'demonstrators'.
He's is a traitor for siding with foreign invaders.
Also he didn't have to "flee for his life" at all. They didn't even ransack his ridicalous palace when they came, they were more gentle in touring it (abandoned) then the visitors of January 6 (no breaking windows or shouting, unlike some Americans at the Capitol building): https://youtube.com/watch?v=_HN3yZVKP9g No one was being killed anywhere (well, except of Right Sector's Sashko Bily, shot by the cops for being unruly, and the disappeared Tatars who tried to protest the Russian coup in Crimea, and even these deaths came later), so please just stop your histrionics.
Yanukovych only fled to both avoid prosecution for his crimes and preserve some of his illegally amassed wealth, which he did successfully before even an arrest warrant was issued against him (Poroshenko later surrendered to his warrant lawfully after losing power in turn, and was put on trial in person, for treason too).
I don't know why do you feel this urge to sympathise with and cover up for a blatant criminal (even a convicted thug in his youth) and international fugitive from justice just because he was impeached? It's very sociopathic.
It's all a matter of perspective. You could also say that Russian speakers who side with the Kiev regime are 'traitors'. Same as with the US Civil War, they call Robert E. Lee a 'traitor', but he was also faithful to his state (which was the norm at the time).
That's when he was gone though. It makes zero sense for him to make an agreement for new elections and then flee the next day, but for the fact that government forces withdrew and he was at the mercy of the mostly peaceful protesters.
He could have fled at any time though.
A Ukrainian leaders who does not end up in prison seems a rarity. I'm sure that if Z (the irony) makes peace, he'll later on be accused of treason and imprisoned.
I know he is a convicted thug, and that he is a corrupt bastard, but a traitor he is not. Being a thug and a corrupt bastard miraculously only come into play when someone resists American hegemonic ambitions.
