In a dramatic escalation of U.S.-Russia rhetoric, former President Donald Trump has publicly announced that he ordered two nuclear submarines to be repositioned to “appropriate regions”—a move prompted by “highly provocative” remarks made by Russia’s former President and Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev.
Medvedev had responded to Trump's ultimatum for a ceasefire in Ukraine (set for August 8) with taunts about Russia’s Soviet-era nuclear "Dead Hand" system—amplifying tensions on social media platforms. Trump warned that words have consequences and insisted the deployment was a precautionary step to protect U.S. interests.
Security analysts caution this is largely rhetorical signaling, noting U.S. nuclear subs capable of striking Russia are already on patrol routinely. Critics, including former National Security Advisor John Bolton, have slammed the move as reckless and inaccurate in military terms.
