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.

No. He would know that historically, Russia invading Ukraine is like England invading Scotland. None of our business.

No. He would know that historically, Russia invading Ukraine is like England invading Scotland. None of our business. This is a great analogy.

He threatened to use nukes on any of us, depending on what
was just ahead. He wasn’t limiting it to the Ukraine.
At least that was my take on it. I believe it was in the
context of the West getting involved.

"Dummy up."
