The White House stunned social media users Wednesday when it posted a video mixing real footage of the missile strikes in Iran with footage from the video game Call of Duty, set to an instrumental version of Childish Gambino’s song “Bonfire.”
The roughly one-minute-long video, captioned “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue,” struck an energetic and playful tone as it began with a sequence featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III in which a player can activate a “nuke.”
