Russia Today puts Japan on the map, where New Zealand should be

Russian news channel RT has apologised for apparently accidentally labelling New Zealand as “Japan”, and Papua New Guinea as “South Korea” in an embarrassing southern hemisphere mix-up.

Russia is the new America

AJemaineClement Hiding in plain sight. They’ll never find you now.

ItsBlack_Friday Don't feel too bad... there are kids who can't tell me what direction the sun rises.

Kon'nichiwa Aotearoa 🙃

ItsBlack_Friday Whoops!

I think it's wrong typing

Give it time

EricIdle Seems right, Trump put Moscow on the map where Washington DC should be

oh, okay, so Trump is becoming a bit more explainable.....

lol

RT is putin Putin is. Brute. So coherent

New channel ?

This type of thing can happen when countries won't play nicely together in the same sandbox. ignorance is not always bliss!

It’s fine. 75% of people under 30, outside of those 3 countries, couldn’t point them out anyway

You don't really think people will believe this.

Hmm 🤔 but is this part of a larger plan...

/r/mapswithoutNZ ?

EricIdle Oh joy I'm Japanese now. Lol. I always wanted to visit. Now I don't have to fly out from new Zealand to visit.

🤭😂😂

Yep. Advanced education at work.

tpatoncarstairs Oh okay guardian, you are perfect

Doh. Hussar Merebimur. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Invasion? Or just very strong tides? Lol

AJemaineClement A bad time for a geographic blunder is when you’re talking about MISSILES 😣

AJemaineClement This. Means. War. Arm the sheep.

They’ve got plans

EricIdle This is where news from the despotic government and an idiocracy converge. What is really bad about this is Fox 'News' practically gets most of its news from Russia Today and just rebroadcasts it for American consumption.

wildgees8 That is not True. This is the map depicted of RT news. Rugbysmartarse RT_com

Did they peak at tRump's map?

wildgees8 I thought that was CNN job.

the Russians are catching up in geography with the USA

TerribleMaps

did japan buy new zealand?

NZ should put RT where it needs to be. Up Putin's arse. Wait. It's already there!

Oh my goodness, it's not even where New Zealand is.

AJemaineClement

EricIdle Papua New Guinea is South Korea now too.

I've put in a bid for New Guinea. Fingers crossed.

EricIdle Send the All Blacks to invade!!!

Hey, at least it’s on the map.

EricIdle Who is their foreign minister, Dominitri Raabski. ?

EricIdle Cool, us Aussies will get more for it when we sell New Zealand to Trump now...

Trump bought it and renamed it.

It started with jandals and ended with this [...]

AJemaineClement No those are next years plans! After Putin gets Greenland for Trump.

Close enough

If they’d labelled Australia ‘New China’ i would believe it. Imagine losing the Ashes to China ffs.

そんなに羊は居ないかな笑

Just a simple mistake. Don't understand why an entire article has been written about it.

Well they are not the sharpest knives in the kitchen, at least Trump knows where the country he can't buy is located.

That’s why we won rugby world cup game against South Africa 4 years ago

AJemaineClement Damn state run news. Either erasing the home of Animé it the home of Hobbits.

AJemaineClement Simpletons.

AJemaineClement Trump erases Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland from the map.

😄🤪

Perhaps Putin wants to buy it as a tit-for-tat against Agent Orange buying Greenland..

AJemaineClement And yet still not as ridiculous as Fox News.

Putin got a plan?

At least RT_com apologize and fix their mistakes. Why doesn't the ? FreeAssange

AJemaineClement Is Papua New Guinea also labelled as South Korea?

AJemaineClement bloodyfibber

If schadenfreude is your thing when it comes to media cock-ups, feast yourself on the Grauniad's own litany. Stones and glass houses come to mind.

Oh those Russkies !!!

AJemaineClement Thinking about it could we please officially swap the 2 Islands.

AJemaineClement rhysiedarby will save us

AJemaineClement

Playfulimp Education is important 🙃

AJemaineClement Domo arigato mister roboto

AJemaineClement Hey! It’s on the map at least.

and by sheer coincidence there is no Israel on your maps where Israel should be.

Thier audience won't notice that.

That means Putin is planning obliterating New Zealand? Future map. 😑

New headline: 'Russia backs world peace. Moves Japan out of harms way of NK missiles' 😂

😁😆😅😂🤣😭

Infairness it's not like Russia has military bases in these countries like others

Most of the Brits and Americans don't realize that something is wrong with that map anyway....

Some Russian joker is implying that Australia is China. And he has a point.

WTF ?

They should be thrown out of the UK and the US.

haha

A radical plan to protect Japan from North Korea?!?

I think they are able to move Japan to the the bottom of the Pacific, but this is probably honest mistake.

Russia. The Middle Ages.

lool

Hope whoever drew up that map knows the where the salt mines are....

Omg!

Still more accurate than your journalism.

Common mistake, I fixed it for ya. You're welcome.

Does that mean my flight to Japan will be even longer?

Does this mean the Russians want to buy Australia?!

Australia and New Zealand's land masses have been put where China and Japan should be, then they've changed the NZ label for some mad reason. 😂😂😂

Выходные пропали...

Lol ....RT_com Russia Reflects its overall accuracy.

This would never have happened on your watch mbaines3 🌏👀

Clearly still miffed about what happened in 1904-1905.

Oh lordt...

They also put Australia on the map where China is in control

That’s how it would’ve been if the Yanks hadn’t intervened in 1942...

Quality stuff - up there with George Galloway and all the other bullshit that emanates from this farce of an outfit.

Voilà bien une chose qui n'arriverait jamais aux chaines TV françaises 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe trump bought New Zealand and moved it. He loves buying islands.

Sky news weather reports always show Scotland in the wrong projection making the landmass seem tiny. Check it out.

Ehhh close enough

Has Dominic Raab got anything to do with this?

when you employ your cousin as the graphics guy

And it looks like South Korea has moved to the northern edge of Australia

Russia loves rewriting history and now they've turned their hand to geography too.

Finally.

So much for Winnipeg Alberta 🇨🇦 eh 😅 geography101

china has another new neighborhood.

China has been removed by russian?

Idiocracy

Maybe we dont know smth yet ?! 😱

New Zealand will probably just accept that and apologize. Too nice for this world.

I did eat sushi today, so no hard feelings.

New Zealand will probably just accept that and apologize Too nice for this world.

Astro_Dav

but New Zealand isn't a separate country. it's part of Australia.

Diane Abbott has started working for them.

The Guardian criticises another outlet for a mistake. I'm sure theres a well known phrase or saying for that.

🤦‍♀️

So Japan to win the rugby world cup then 🏆

Even when we make it on to a map, they mislabel us! The plan is working.

That’s damn funny

Japan has gone South!

Lmao
