Which you can argue for, but doesn’t stem from them being all almost twins.
I can say Humans are 99.6% genetically identical, and I can say nations are kinda like independent organisms (more sketchy a statement than for ants), but I definitely can’t say Humans are 99.6% genetically identical, and thus nations are kinda like independent organisms.
“Ants are almost twins” is not the cause of “Ants are not really autonomous individuals”

Nothing indicated they were upset at all, this comes across as very rude and dismissive.

Fair enough. Perhaps I’d read too many of their comments here in a row and lost perspective a bit. 🙇🏼♂️
