... "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.

He said he ordered the submarines moved "just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances."

Trump and Medvedev, who is deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, traded taunts in recent days after Trump on Tuesday said Russia had "10 days from today" to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or be hit, along with its oil buyers, with tariffs.

Is he also going to send a carrier battle group to New Zealand like he did last time? And why were these submarines not already in position? I thought that's what submarines were for?

Feel safer today? Do you remember the Good Old Days? You should. They were as recently as 01/19/2025.

It's not like the nukes on those subs can't reach them from pretty much anywhere on the planet.

Trident II D5 (US): This missile, deployed on Ohio-class submarines, has a range of over 4,000 nautical miles (4,600 statute miles)

Wait, wtf?

We already have 5 nuclear subs with nukes pointed at Russia.

Hopefully, this makes 7.

It was an "Armada"!

And as I recall Trumpy literally sent them in the wrong direction.

He didn't send them anywhere. They just followed their scheduled tour.

Best CIC ever, they say.

Just part of trying so hard to deflect the old blob becomes a hot, sweaty, makeup dripping mess.

All it takes is one word and (good boy, Donnie) two whole syllables.
