You'd think the strangest story of the day would be two Hollywood stars-turned-politicians, fighting over their shared reality TV gig, but...you'd be wrong.

The Russian government is trolling Sarah Jessica Parker.

To be fair, the Sex and the City actress started it, on Thursday, with a bit of her own trolling, posting a meme someone made of her, playing her Sex and the City character Carrie Bradshaw, doing a pitch-perfect impression of Carrie's narrative voice:

I had to. Don't know the provenance however whoever you are, thank you. X, sj

Her Instagram post followed news that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had met with Sergey Ivanovich Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the United States, during the presidential campaign. Sessions had been a Trump surrogate for President Donald Trump during part of the campaign, and is just one of several in Trump's circle who appear to have had contact with Russian government officials. So Parker hopped on the 'Gram, and gave a solid nod to her former Sex and the City character's habit of wistfully typing away about life's greatest mysteries.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noticed.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is correct. Truly, anything seems possible.
