      #Russia has deployed its 'Admiral Kuznetsov' carrier to the Med. FYI, its frequently feared to sink & requires tugs in case it breaks down. pic.twitter.com/yuEEibH6Cy

      Amusing… Major #Russia publication uses image of U.S carrier group (L) instead of their own (R). To be fair though, you can see why.pic.twitter.com/TEup4O5mSo
