[Regnum] The image of a Russian warship was mistakenly used by US Congressman Corey Mills,
| ...R - somewhere in Florida. But perhaps he is jet-lagged after returning from rescuing a bunch of Americans stranded in Israel, and to be fair, he is an Army veteran, not Navy... |
who congratulated the US Navy on the social network X.
“Happy 248th Founding Anniversary of the American Navy!” - Mills wrote on the social network under a postcard with an image of the cruiser Peter the Great.
The congressman added that the US Navy, “since the earliest days of the American Revolution,” has remained strong and protected the freedom of the state and its seas.
After users pointed out the congressman's mistake in the comments, he deleted the postcard with the cruiser and left only a congratulatory text.
Commentator Dave Brown recalled that earlier Congressman David Trone
| ... D-Maryland’s DC suburbs... |
congratulated the US Navy with a postcard with Russian naval equipment, and the Department of Homeland Security with a postcard with a Canadian frigate.
| See? Congressman Mills is just as ignorant as a Democrat and a Homeland Security staffer. |
As Regnum reported, in July, on a postcard that the US Pacific Fleet posted on social networks on the occasion of Independence Day of the United States, there were images of Russian Su-27 fighters and a Project 61 patrol ship. Users actively responded to this in the comments, after which the image was deleted.
