It's already begun.

Poland had a docile bear once but said bear didn't buy fish, he did something better.

During WW2, many Polish soldiers-in-exile joined the British Army rather than side with the Soviets (with whom relations were terrible). The British, trying to overcome the language barrier, subsequently organized many of these foreign soldiers into their own units within the British Army. One of these units, Polish II Corps, got stationed in Persia (modern day Iran). During their stay in Persia, somehow the 22nd Artillery Supply Company of this unit had adopted & raised a bear cub that they named Wojtek.

Normally, pets aren't allowed in active units, but again the Poles managed to get Wojtek registered as a private within their unit.

Not only had the 22nd snuck a bear past their British commanders but they had also taught Wojtek to pick up and carry artillery shells as well as salute. In defiance of the adage "war is serious," the 22nd actually brought Wojtek with them on combat deployment in Italy and had him perform his ordinance-bearing duties during the battle of Monte Cassino.

So step up Nippon-senpai. Y'all got a flightless bird getting you the other white meat from the market to cram in your faceholes while the Poles had a mother-freakin' bear getting them big ass slugs of explosives to cram into the Fascists' faceholes.
