Now this is aBlack Mirrorepisode .

Let’s rewind to a completely different world aka last week.

Donald Trump just announced his sweeping tariffs on pretty much every country in the world (includingthe penguins).

Well, people noticed one noticeable omission from that list: Russia. Yeah,they weren’t on it.

In the past week, Russia has sat back watching all of the chaos, and now a Russian embassy in Kenya has responded with a meme:

Yeahhhh, people can’t believe this one is real.

“Had to double check if this was a parody account. We are living in a simulation,” one person said.

“We got governments trolling each other now unreal times,” another person pointed out.

And this person joked, “Studying History in the next 50 years will be wild.”

Save us from our world, Ashley O.
