“To my friends in Russia: President Trump strives for the world, not for conflict. However, please understand: he is not [экс-президент США Барак] Obama, no [экс-президент США Джо] Bayden, and it is better not to joke with him. You overestimate your positions, ”Graham wrote.
To my friends in Russia:

You will beat your hand.

Context
After Trump expressed disappointment the actions of the illegitimate President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and announced the reduction of the previously announced 50-day period To conclude a peace agreement between Moscow and Kiev up to 10 days, Medvedev said that “each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war.” In response, Trump called Medvedev the “failed president” and ordered him to “follow his words.”
The ex-president of the Russian Federation, in turn, advised the head of the White House Recall the danger of “dead hand” – the Soviet system of automated control of nuclear forces developed for the guaranteed “impact of retaliation” even in case of damage to the lines of communication or destruction of the command.
On August 1, the head of the White House stated that the states will place two atomic submarines “in the relevant regions” in response to “stupid and extremely provocative” statements of Medvedev.

Trump later celebrated to reporters that he ordered to place two atomic submarines to “protect his people”.
