#1 Russian battleships, eh? They haul the Potemkin down there or something?

#2 Though more seriously, I don't care for the Russians getting the chance to field test their weapons. Hopefully they suffered a high failure rate and can't figure out why.

#6 Russian ships shell densely populated city

Unlike the Paleos who launch bottle rockets into uninhabited desert. Might as well get some bang for your buck, I say!

Love the Lobster Beirut joke, btw.
