Trump Orders Deployment of Two Nuclear Submarines, Declares Full Readiness for Nuclear War with Russia
Against the backdrop of remarks by Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, US President Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed ‘in the relevant regions.’ He then stated that the United States was fully prepared for a nuclear conflict with Russia.
The Gaze reports on this, referring to Trump's post on the social network Truth Social and a video of his conversation with journalists on the White House lawn.
The US president called Medvedev's latest remarks ‘extremely provocative.’
‘I have ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed in the relevant regions in case these senseless and provocative statements turn out to be more than just words,’ he added.
Trump did not specify where exactly these nuclear submarines would be deployed. At the same time, he expressed hope that Medvedev's words would not lead to ‘unpredictable consequences.’
A little later, the American president said that the United States was fully prepared for a nuclear conflict with Russia.
‘He (Medvedev - ed.) talked about nuclear weapons, and when someone mentions nuclear weapons, we have to be ready. We are fully ready,’ Trump explained.
He confirmed that he had given the order to deploy American nuclear submarines after threats were made in public by Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev, which Trump considers a direct threat to US citizens. He added that nuclear submarines are already ‘closer to Russia.’
"We had to do it. We just have to be careful. A threat was made, and we consider it inappropriate. Therefore, I have to be very careful. I am doing this for the safety of our people. The threat was made by the former president of Russia, and we are going to protect our people."
According to Trump, when threats of nuclear weapons use are made, the US must be ready to protect its citizens.
The day before, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev published a post in which he mentioned the Soviet automatic nuclear strike system, ‘Dead Hand,’ and called on Trump to ‘remember his favourite films about the walking dead.’
