WorldComicomment | Playing the victim: Japan's political show over WWII monument

A monument commemorating victory over Japanese militarism was unveiled in Khabarovsk, Russia, depicting a Soviet soldier smashing a border marker bearing Japan’s imperial chrysanthemum. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi protested and demanded its removal, while Russia dismissed the reaction as absurd. The commentary calls the dispute a staged political show that distorts the historical verdict of World War II.
