Trump and deployment of nuclear submarines

Not a good idea to underestimate Russia and their weapons can teach the US.

It seems a pointless announcement the USA like U.K. have their nuclear submarines on permanent patrol.

At a guess I imagine POTUS thinks it makes him look big

Yes, Grannygravy13, spot on!
So do Russia and other countries who have nuclear-powered submarines.

Does he think we're all a few cards short of a deck?

Meanwhile Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved to a minimum security jail after her little Epstein files chats with Trump’s ‘people’. A presidential pardon for her role in procuring young girls for Epstein has not been ruled out.

He may or may not be aware of the difference Allira and it could be the case that the top brass think it’s better he doesn’t know.😂

Well, Oreo, from what I heard him saying on BBC News this evening, he doesn't understand the concept at all.
Scary!!

Russian media are saying Trump had a temper tantrum and their security minister said he doesn't believe he's moved any submarines.
Worryingly it seems the Russians are the adults.

See what you did there 😉

Having recently watched "Threads" there are worrying similarities to the build up.

The horror of that film stayed with me for many days. We watched it in 1984 when it was originally made and it had the same effect then.

A powerful and disturbing film.

I doubt this latest thing is anything to worry about, just the usual Russian bluster and Trump replying in kind to them.

It’s really to counter the Russian nuclear strike threat, publicizing the movement is a signal to “us” not to Putin, he knows it happens all the time.

If the US puts Tariffs on Russian oil that will hurt Russia badly, China and India in particular. Because Putin is not negotiating seriously a deadline has been set by Trump, when that expires Im expect Ukraine will be allowed to attack more targets in Russia. The US may even supply more offensive weapons Putin will likely respond with a nuclear threat

Am surprised there isn’t a thread about it on GN

Yes, I see this as more of the increasingly desperate attempts at deflection by Mr Trump.

I totally agree. How to say ' I'm guilty' without saying 'I'm guilty' in every way possible .
