What’s going on with Japan's Prime Minister Ishiba? Is he resigning or not? To clear up some confusion, here’s what we know: multiple legit Japanese media outlets across the political spectrum have reported he will quit, this month or next, after Sunday's disastrous election 1/

What does this mean? Right now, we don't know. But -- contrary to what some accounts here are saying, it's very unlikely that so many major news organizations "got it wrong" or "screwed up". There are many possibilities, all supposition on my part: Ishiba may be buying time. He may be unhappy the story leaked from someone other than him and wants to control the narrative. He may even have changed his mind.
