Abbott is clearly shortsighted

JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER SHINZO ABE'S FOUR-DAY visit to Australia this week, ending on Thursday, has culminated in political drama thanks to his host.

While Abe continued with his sham of trying to hide his real intentions by disguising himself as a defender of international norms, his Australian counterpart, Tony Abbott, seemed all too willing to play a supporting role as his comrade-in-arms.

Abbott even went so far as to eulogize Japan's World War II military prowess in his welcome to Abe.
