I do wonder if it was a deliberate joke or a mistake, both seem equally possible to me. Either way, the replies are hilarious Very Happy

Hey, it's as least as good as Powell's presentation to the UN about Saddam's mobile chemical weapon factories Smile

Of course it's a troll, they've done similar things before. It kinda shows how stupid some people are themselves if they actually think a video game could be mistaken for reality.

It has actually happened, although not to the Russian Embassy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQuglSbXeVo

But you're assuming they thought it was real as opposed to deliberately using it as fake footage, which is ridiculous but I can believe that if the producers wanted stuff to support their point and read game reviews saying "photorealistic graphics". They do that with real footage too.

I think that was the joke the Russian embassy was making there, that often completely unrelated photos/videos are used as "evidence" for something else, like videos of the Syrian conflict used in news reports on Ukraine etc.

Eggsactly, the western media passes off all sorts of BS imagery in their stories, Fox and CNN are regularly caught doing it.
