US President Donald Trump on Friday announced that he had ordered two nuclear submarines to deploy near Russia, responding to what he called “foolish and inflammatory” threats from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.
JFC. The President of the United States has publicly announced where he’s moved the most powerful weapon platforms in all human history, whose whole raison d’etre is to be fucking covert, utterly hidden. Just so he could flex.
Of all the crazy shit the man has done, this one rustles my jimmies.
He could always say he did and lie, it wouldn’t be the first time, and it’s more in-character of such pathological liar con man.
Meh, maybe you’re right, but flexing is equally in character.
Yeah, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the military was completely ignoring him in such regards, if Hegseth was stopping weapons shipments to Ukraine without the president knowing why should we believe he knows anything that is going on with them. He’s probably just a racist, sexist, pedophile being used as a puppet because it appeals and upsets enough people to be used as a guise.
The boomers were already in place. Think our finest weapon platform wasn’t already in range to hit Russia? But saying so out loud is a threat of Biblical proportions.
The man is still an idiot but saying we have 2 nearby is useless information considering how covert they are and how much space they could be in. Foreign Nuclear subs have literally crashed into each other because they are so sneaky they couldn’t hear each other until they literally hit and “nearby” can include an area that is millions of square miles.
I’m sorry, but this is the one?
France did the same thing when US threatened to annex Greenland and moved nuclear submarines in the Area. it’s a great deterrent.
To be fair on that, there’s no point in a doomsday device if nobody knows you have one. Unless he gave away a specific location…
