When it first hit the news I was talking to a friend who works at US embassies and I cracked a joke about it. He got really offended and insisted he had really good evidence he couldn't share for security reasons that it was real.

A few months later he apologized.

How hard did you laugh? I wouldn't have been able to hold back

Not that hard. He did admit he was wrong after all.

I just found it delightful to have a concrete example of internet shitposts having a better understanding of geopolitics than state department briefings.

So now we know for sure that anyone who says this is telling a "My uncle works at Nintendo" tier lie. If you cant show us, theres no use bringing it up.
