Aug 1 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in regions near Russia in response to threats from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. "I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump said in a social media post that called Medvedev's statements highly provocative...

This is idiotic.
‘Vladimir, if you do it {Ukraine}, we’re hitting Moscow.’ I said, ‘We’re gonna hit Moscow.’

TRUMP-”But if we didn’t have it we couldn’t talk but I listened to him constantly using the n word , that’s the n word, and he’s constantly using it. The nuclear word, and we never talk, we say oh, he’s a nuclear power, but we’re a greater nuclear power.”

“You should say look , if you mention that word, one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth up and down your coast. You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these thousands of people die. It’s going to be hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of people by the time it ends.”

We assume that Dmitry Medvedev is speaking on the behalf of the Kremlin?
Serious move. The positions of our subs is usually a tightly controlled secret.
Who cares?
The EU has nuclear weapons. Let THEM be the deterrent.
> This is idiotic. <
I can’t disagree. In a way it reminds me of that scene from “The Bedford Incident”.
Commodore Schrepke: This is insane!
Captain Finlander: Now don’t worry, Commodore. The Bedford’ll never fire first. But if he fires one, I’ll fire one.
Ensign Ralston: [launching the rocket] Fire One!
The one thing Gorbachev and Yeltsin knew and apparently... Nobody has told Vlad... Is that America’s nuclear capabilities are far superior to Russia’s... And Russia would lose miserably in any scenario involving nuclear war... Russia would cease to exist, and essentially return to the stone age.
Now they are both being idiots. This is insane.
Never pull a gun you don’t plan to use.
“I Won’t fire one unless he fires one”. Richard Widmark
The EU has nuclear weapons. Let THEM be the deterrent.
Why? Medvedev threatened us. What’s Putin’s regime going to do about it? Mass murder more Ukrainian kids?
“We assume that Dmitry Medvedev is speaking on the behalf of the Kremlin?”
He likely is, or he could be the Rooskie version of Joe Biden.
The point of Kremlin gaslighting is to talk about something so disgusting, in this case nuclear war, that Putin’s opponents just recoil in disgust and surrender. President Trump is correctly calling their bluff and taking away the nuke hysteria “card”.
That was a great movie.
Caught it, didn’t you.
“ Serious move. The positions of our subs is usually a tightly controlled secret.”
With our SSBN force, close to Russia can mean 2,000 miles away. In the meantime, Russia will be hunting ghosts.
Reckless
I seriously doubt that any subs are being moved more than 100 feet from their normal station...
Trump is just issuing a reminder to the Russian leadership...
But we would win?
Have you lost your mind!
PDJT should go . . . for a walk, and get some exercize, take a shower, hug the wife, have dinner, read a book and go . . . to bed.
Before he blows a gasket.
