My kids tell their friends their Dad roots for the Japanese when watching “Whale Wars”
In fact, I simply tell them that the “Steve Irwin” can only conduct their staged outrage and faux activism against other civilized, modern parties.
Ghandi would not have lasted 5 minutes against the Soviets.

I admit, I root for the Japanese too, although I think their "harvest for scientific study" is highly bogus.
I have this fantasy about "Whale Wars" where a Japanese warship shows up on the horizon just as the crew of the Steve Irwin are in the middle of doing something incredibly stupid and dangerous--like, oh, say rammming another ship at sea?
The Japanese declare them pirates (which, it appears to me, that they are--albeit incompetent, muddle-headed pirates) and sink their sorry lib asses with a few well-placed 76 mm rounds after they refuse to surrender and be boarded.
Then I feel guilty about that for a while, so I have another beer.
