Mickey and Popeye were also mobilized to fight. In the picture, Mickey is wearing a Japanese Army uniform and Popeye is wearing a Japanese Marine Corps uniform. In pre-war Japan, the popularity of Mickey Mouse, Popeye, and Betty Boop was so strong that not only pirated cartoons and goods were produced, but even as the military color became stronger, there were New Year's cards with Mickey on a Japanese tank, and goods with Mickey and Popeye dressed in Japanese military uniforms were proudly displayed.

As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into." And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30. A Russian Telegram channel with over 700,000 followers is spreading disinformation about Russia's invasion of Ukraine under the guise of providing "objective information" and fact-checking fake news. Its influence extends beyond the platform, with major Russian publications, government officials, and journalists citing the page's posts. Now safely in France with his spouse and three of his children, Kliuchnikov scrolls through Telegram to learn about the devastation happening in his home country.
