The United States will deploy two nuclear submarines"in the appropriate regions." The announcement comes directly from US President Donald Trump after two days of fierce verbal clash with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that has been going on for days now."Based on the highly provocative statements of former President Dmitry Medvedev, who is now Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered that two nuclear submarines be deployed in the appropriate regions, in case these foolish and incendiary statements are more than just words." This is what the American president wrote on Truth, according to which"words are very important and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this is not one of those cases. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
The threat of an American escalation comes at the end of a two-day exchange between the White House and the former Russian president – no stranger to anti-Western hyperbole – confirming a climate between Washington and Moscow that appears to have soured after initial expectations. Medvedev first warned on X a few days ago that"any ultimatum from the US (on a truce in Ukraine, ed.) is a step towards war." Hence Trump's response: "The failed former president of Russia, who still thinks he's president, needs to be careful what he says, he's entering very dangerous territory!", the tycoon attacked on Truth. I don't care what India does with Russia. They can jointly destroy their failing economies, as far as I'm concerned. We've done very little business with India; their tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world. Likewise, Russia and the United States do almost no business together. Let's keep going like this and tell Medvedev, Russia's failed former president, who still thinks he's president, to be careful what he says. He's entering very dangerous territory!
The counter-reply was prompt, this time entrusted to Telegram."If some words of the former Russian president provoke such a nervous reaction in such a fearsome US president, it means that Russia is right about everything and will continue to pursue its own path," Medvedev wrote. He then added: Trump"should remember his favorite zombie movies, and also how dangerous the legendary 'dead hand' can be." This latter reference is to the secret semi-automatic Soviet-era system capable of launching nuclear missiles if Moscow's leadership were eliminated in an enemy attack.
