Why on Earth would you broadcast where you're putting your nuclear subs? The entire point is for enemies not to know where they are. I mean I assume he's lying, but fuck.
I see nothing in that post that isn't business as usual - except the fact that Medvedev and Trump, two man babies, apparently got into a fight.
Submarines are always stationed in "appropriate positions". This is just deflecting from other issues, you know...
That said I'm not underestimating the danger the Trump admin poses for the world, generally.
Eh, it makes sense as a deterrent. And he didn't specify where they are. But I don't think he knows "nuclear submarines" are not nuclear armed submarines. They are just nuclear-powered, meaning they don't consume oxygen to run (no fuel burned) and don't need to resurface for a long time.
“Nuclear-powered submarine” is basically redundant these days for the US, since they all are and have been since 2007. It can be safely assumed that a reference to a “Nuclear Submarine” in this context is one that is nuclear-armed.
We're talking about trump here though...
Did he? So you know where „appropriate regions“ are? And you think they haven’t been there before?
The "boomers" were already within ICBM strike range. This is common knowledge. Saying it out loud is a threat I've never heard, not even during the Cold War.
