And Then There Was Korea
Britain has been having a bit of a rah-rah for the seventy-fifth anniversary of Mr Churchill's victory over Japan, which made the world safe for peace, freedom, Stilton cheese and the white race. The Imperial Haystack had a blather which condemned the Japanese for distracting British heroes from Mr Churchill's victory over Europe, while the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition noted forensically that the war in Asia was "particularly cruel," presumably compared to such anti-communist trifles as the siege of Leningrad rather than to the Holocaust. He also proclaimed the importance of unity and pulling together, as opposed to getting rid of racist right-wing juntas in eccentric island nations. Remembrance and contrition for the three-month delay in ending the war, imposed by Mr Churchill's chums in Washington at the cost of thousands of lives, do not appear to have troubled the celebrations.

The history of the Righteous Korea (versus the weird one to the north that Trump loved at one poinbt) was also full of rather rabid juntas as well. :)

Indeed; and during the fighting phase of their war the Righteous Korea also contributed significantly to its neighbour's present madness, with the help of Britain's greatest ally and some newly virtuous Japanese war criminals, including Shinzo Abe's grandfather. Oddly, this doesn't get pointed out nearly as often as North Korea's more recent and entirely context-free history of pestering fish.
