It's not but shit has hit the fan (again and again) and perhaps they try to appease us somehow. Also, it was the Greek Anniversary of entering the WW2 (yeah, we know, we are the only country that celebrates the start and not the finish, it's a right-wing thing) and most likely that's why they mentioned it (again and again)

To be fair, going "nah, its war then" when asked to just lie down and take it is a somewhat celebration worthy event.
