WorldComicomment | Japan stages a victimhood show over WWII monument

A monument commemorating victory over Japanese militarism was unveiled in Khabarovsk, Russia, showing a Soviet soldier smashing a border post marked with Japan’s imperial chrysanthemum. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi protested and demanded its removal, while Russia dismissed the reaction as absurd. The commentary calls Japan’s response a political show that portrays an attack on an aggressor’s marker as an affront to national dignity.
