This morning Alexander Yakovenko, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the UK, tweeted this.
The photo is a screengrab from a scene from the film Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. You can watch it below.
Kal Penn, a former associate director in the White House Office of Public Engagement, as well as one of the titular characters in the film — and fake terrorist featured in the tweet — saw it and actually responded.
The Russian embassy tried to calm relations between them and the ex-White House staffer.
And Penn seemed to take it in good humor.
