Donald Trump Would Send Nuclear Subs to Russia's Coast to Pressure Putin

Former President Donald Trump said if he were still in the White House, the U.S. would be taking more drastic measures against Russian President Vladimir Putin, going so far as to send nuclear submarines to the country's coast to pressure Russia to back out of Ukraine.

"You should say, 'If you mention that word [nuclear] one more time, we're gonna send [nuclear submarines and planes] over and we'll be coasting back and forth, up and down your coast," Trump told Fox Business on Monday. "You can't let this tragedy continue. You can't let these, these thousands of people die."

The former president said he "listened to [Putin] constantly using the n-word," referring to the world "nuclear," during his dealings with the Russian president but that he hoped he never had to use nuclear weapons because "it would be the tragedy of all tragedies."

Trump's latest comments shift away from the positive comments he made about Putin at the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

A day before Russia launched a full-scale invasion, Trump called Putin a "genius" for recognizing two separatists regions in Ukraine as independent.

"I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper. That's the strongest peace force," Trump said in an interview on The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show on February 23.

[He’s turned into a NeoCon. ]


He’s always been an American patriot. He’s interested in Ukraine not as an entity in itself, but as a territory he does not want to lose to Russia, much as the FDR poured the vast majority of American resources into Europe despite the fact that it was Japan that attacked Pearl Harbor. If the US stayed out of Europe, either Germany or Russia would rule continental Europe, and the US could not allow that to happen.

It’s not clear to me whether you support Russian interests because you’re Russian, a pan-Slav or a pan-Orthodox enthusiast or just convinced by Russian arguments that Russian territorial expansion is good for America. If it’s purely identity politics, I understand. I don’t agree with your position, but I understand. But if you’re convinced by Russian arguments that Russian empire is good for the US, let me just say that there are other arguments - that Russian land grabs are bad for the US.

Yeah, it's agitprop.

Trump is just being Trump.

I never paid any attention to that stuff - "mean tweets" - and didn't try to read his mind.

Trump was just American's Rich Uncle to me, just like Bill Murray is America's Cool Uncle.

Don't know them, don't have telepathy - I always just liked them living their Cool Lives.

Watch The Duran to get the skinny, instead of these blowhard rumpSchwab Soros boys trash-talking all the time:

They carry long range missiles so they're always close enough.

I’ve watched screwballs here turn on America, equate our history with that of communist dictatorships, fantasize about George Soros justifying the Russians slaughtering Ukrainians

And now not surprisingly the same jagoffs are here attacking President Trump and even saying Biden is handling things better.

Lol and I should lighten up and let you turn Free Republic into the Democrat Underground.

“Gee President Trump actually thinks Putin invaded Ukraine, doesn’t he know Klaus Schwab made it all up, we better vote for Biden, Trump is supporting the homo comic”

Excellent point, both currently and historically.

disclaimer: Trump wouldn't have assclowned his way into this position that the JoeLitburo and their senile puppet got the US into with Pooty.

Why the hell do they need to send them to Russia? The Trident II has a range of more than 7000 miles. An SSBN could be off the coast of Myrtle Beach and still hit Moscow. All of Russia would be a chip shot from the Mediterranean. They can sit off the west coat of Australia and nuke Moscow.

They’re more of a threat from 7000 miles away than they would be in Russian waters.

This is coming from the Lying Brandon Media.

Just ignore it.

It's easier for me, because I don't have TeeVee in my house.

It's kind of weird, because all my friends do, and they have the oddest opinions about stuff sometimes, given to them by their TeeVees. Even my smartest pal get affected by The Idiot Box.

He can't get rid of it like he wants to, because The Queen Must Have It.
