I was actually agreeing with what you wrote. I was referring exactly to the atrocities that Japan committed before and during WW2. Russia, by contrast, did come out of WW2 on the side of the “good guys”, having sacrificed probably more lives than any other nation to defeat Nazism.
My attempt at irony was on the fact that the contrast with how these countries (and even Nazism) are viewed today is so striking that it truly seems like we’re living in an alternate timeline.

Huh, my bad for not recognizing your use of irony - sorry for being condescending :)
no worries! Clearly it’s not time for me to quit my day job to do stand-up comedy, yet. :)
