I had the occasion to look this up again, so I thought I should post it for more than the shitlib I got it for (so now it's also for the three of you sorting by new at this hour)

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.

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