A news channel in Russia got Japan and New Zealand confused, placing 'Japan' below Australia. News channel Russia Today labelled New Zealand as Japan and Papua New Guinea as South Korea in an

News channel labelled New Zealand as Japan and Papua New Guinea as South Korea in an embarrassing double gaff during a segment on missile bases in the Sourth Hemisphere. Presenter Ashlee Banks said “The US is looking to place missiles in Japan, South Korea and Australia,” as the map behind her showed almost a totally different area of the world.Pretty awkard there guys, it's a fairly big thing to get wrong there. At least they got Australia right. One of three isn't bad.

And something's wrong with South Korea, too. lol

😂

And apparently South Korea has successfully annexed Papua New Guinea

They also mark Papua New Guinea as South Korea.

They know what they're doing.

They're NOT the brightest folk.

Everyone knows Australia doesn't exist.

At least Australia was right?

What about Papua New Guinea becoming South Korea?

LouiseLacy They`ve been Trumped

Now we know why they don’t conduct international real estate deals in the public, they haven’t finished 3rd grade geography.

Good job RussiaTodayNews

Oh yes, we all remember the tensions between Japan and Australia, as well as the song. I COME FROM A LAND DOWN UNDER WHERE RAMEN DOES FLOW AND MEN CHUNDER CAN'T YOU HEAR, CAN'T YOU HEAR GODZILLA? YOU BETTER RUN, YOU BETTER TAKE COVER

Nice parallel world.

_nakano_takeko_ Wow, This is a big mistake. However it's not bad for Japan the neighbor is Australia, not Korea, lol

Yorkshireaboo

🤣🤣🤣

Normally New Zealand is sadly omitted from world maps. At least they were on this one albeit wrongly named. RT did better than IKEA.

NewZealand gets no respect!

🤔

🤣🤣🤣

Erm.. Yeah. .. Japan is next to China South Korea and North Korea, whereas New Zealand is next to Australia, Fuji and Papu Guises 🤦🏻‍♂️🙈😂 boy I didn’t expect they get their information wrong

That's fine, Argentina makes the same mistakes, confusing which territory belongs to who etc

Look where South Korea is located. It's not even to the south of North Korea, which isn't to the north of South Korea.

Future planning

not newsworthy. Stop giving RT attention.

called the WH first for charts.. bad move

And the big deal is?

You got *every* nation confused on a map. 🙄

didn't you know? there is a very strong flow and the islands carried away 😀😂

It also appears they labeled Papua-New Guinea as S. Korea.

The Russians decided to move Japan further south to end their dispute on Sakhalin islands. South Korea was swapped with Papua New Guinea to appease NoKor's Kim and do away with demilitarized zone in the Korean peninsula erasing Trump's historic duck walk.

Russians

Whereas the Independent are the establishment’s mouthpiece. Golf clap.

Good! When Russia starts their war, they may target themselves with nukes like last week.

No, it is plate tectonics

At least they remembered Tasmania!

What do you expect from tRump supporters?

Like you knew the difference!!! Leave Russia alone they got bombs to make and elections to hack (see Boris election ). Their busy right now eating caviar, drinking vodka and cleaning AK-47s. Who ask a polar bear about islands anyways?🤔

Ha! Geography a la Trump.

Oh I didn’t know where we are

Lol

Not too surprising, they got Ukraine confused for western Russia too

Amd South Korea by the looks of it

Poor geography...mistreated to the bone...🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
