Many of our allies and friends are celebrating May 8th as Victory Day, but we did more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result on World War II. I am hereby renaming May 8th as Victory Day for World War II and November 11th as Victory Day for World War I. We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything — That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!

Ahistorical idiot.

The Soviet Union celebrated “Victory Day” on May 8th. The Russian Federation celebrates “Victory Day” on May 9th.

The surrender of Japan was announced by the Emperor on August 15th, the formal document was signed on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri on September 2nd.
