Trump responds to Russia's provocations. The US is deployed by two atomic submarines

US President Donald Trump said that on Friday he gave the order to deploy two nuclear submarines in the “appropriate regions” in response to the provocative threats of the former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.

“Based on the highly provocative statements of the former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, who is currently the vice -chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I issued an order to deploy two atomic submarines in the relevant regions, in case these stupid and provocative statements turned out to be something more” – wrote Trump on his social portal Truth Social.

“Words are very important and can often lead to unintentional consequences. I hope that this will not happen this time,” he added.

This is a response to the threats of Medvedev regarding nuclear weapons during the exchange of biting comments between Trump and Medvedev; In the last post on the telegram, the former Russian president ordered Trump to “remember his favorite films about” walking dead “, as well as how dangerous” dead hand “” “.

“Dead hand” is a colloquial term for the Soviet response system to a nuclear perimeter.

This entry of Medvedev, in turn, was a reaction to Trump's earlier entry to Truth Social, in which the US President described the economies of Russia and India as “dead”.

“Russia and the US almost do not do business with each other. Let's keep it and say to Medvedev, an unsuccessful former president of Russia, who thinks that he is still a president, that he is thinking of words. He enters the words. He enters a very dangerous area!” Trump warned then, who responded to Medvedev's entry on Platform X, in which he criticized the ultimatum issued to Russia. The Russian said that every new ultimatum is a “step towards war” of the USA with Russia.

“Do not go the way of sleeping Joe,” advised Trump Medvedev, referring to President Biden.

It is not clear what Trump's message means in practice, but this is the first time when the aggressive statements of the former president and prime minister of Russia – who repeatedly sent veiled nuclear threats – provoked a specific answer from the United States. Earlier they were sold – including by Trump himself – as a man's statement that had no influence on decisions taken in the Kremlin.

In a similar way, on Thursday, Medvedev's secretary and national security advisor Marco Rubio referred to Medvedev's actions, who stated that Medvedev “is not a decision maker” and does not participate in talks with the USA.

– But on the other hand, of course, he is someone who once held the office there and still performs the function in the government, and his words will be influenced by being a kind of provocation – said Rubio in an interview with Radio Fox.
