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.
He is deploying the USS Jeffrey Epstein and the USS Distraction.
The USS SQUIRREL
I am honored to be the president of peace!

Also, publicly announcing your nuclear sub movements is a pretty good way to get positive ID on some of the yet unidentified algae bloom wakes, so kudos, Donny. Ta!
good way to get positive ID on some of the yet unidentified algae bloom wakes,
need more context for what appears to be a pretty clever comment
Man I wish he’d bring war to the warmongers, instead of threatening Canada and Greenland and Europe.
This feels fake, though. Theater for the anti-Russian GOP.
Lol, we’re all going to fucking die before his term is over.
Sad that all we can do is wait
“He also did not elaborate on the locations, which are kept secret by the US military.” OK who in the cabinet is going to leak the location first, anyone taking bets?
is anyone keeping an eye on the War Thunder forums?
You gotta get the season pass for Warthunder if you want that.
They tend to move around though.
Mtg
He is probably going to give them to Putin as a gift.
Their relationship has changed. I don’t think Trump cares about Putin anymore. The pee tape being released (assuming it does exist) won’t harm him, and Trump no longer relies on Putin’s funding or social media manipulation for elections. Trump got most of his funding for the last election from Elon and people who know Elon, and now Trump can create other ways for foreign influence to launder money to him (such as the Trump cryptocurrency).
Meanwhile, Trump feels directly snubbed that his “deadlines” for a Ukraine ceasefire have been ignored by Putin. That’s why you see renewed funding for Ukraine.
Narcissists can be very deferential to people they see as equal or above them on the social hierarchy, and Trump likely saw Putin that way. But not anymore.
Trump likes Putin because he showered him with praise and admiration for 20 years, not because of some threats of blackmail. He got invited to all the big parties in Moscow, but never got invited to any in Britain, or France, or Washington, hence why he hates them and loves Russia.
This? This is all theater for the part of the Republicans that still don’t like Putin. This isn’t real action.
Where are the Republicans that still hate Russia? They’ve been very quiet for the last decade. Wherever they are, I see no reason Trump would care about them.
Giving funding back to Ukraine is concrete action.
Your first paragraph can be true while also having a recent falling out.
There are no Republicans that still hate Russia.
Obligatory reminder that when Putin ordered his puppets home on Independence Day, they fucking boarded a plane and kissed the ring.
They know about it and protect their own. “What’s said in the family stays in the family.”
Shit maybe the CIA is slowly deprogramming him, who knows. He’s announced funding back to Ukraine, they’ve asked for the details. Again I’ll wait till I see concrete action.
“No ties attached I swear”
Keys are in the ignition.
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.
I’m sorry, but this is the one?
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.
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…
Medvedev’s comment:
“Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country,” the Russian official said.
He talking about a hot war between Russia and the US or a US Civil War? Cause… He may have a point if it’s the latter.
The first one between Russia and US.
Ah, the usual bluster then.
Dog and pony show to look tough. We all know who he reports to.
Medvedev’s been getting a little too freaky during phone sex
