Trump wrote today (Beijing Time August 2) "In light of the highly provocative statements by Dmitry Medvedev, the former president of Russia and current vice chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council, I have ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed to the relevant area, to prevent these foolish and inciting remarks from stopping here. Words are important and often lead to unexpected consequences, and I hope this time is not one of them. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
[Witty] Comment a few words: The last post by Medvedev is shown in Figure 3. A mocking comment by Medvedev three days ago led Trump to urgently order two Ohio-class nuclear submarines to sail forward, creating a large display that seemed to restart the Cold War. But upon closer examination of Medvedev's remarks, it was just online verbal sparring, without any troop movements or missile launches. The U.S. President, who is supposed to be a leader, was disturbed by a few "verbal attacks," treating the deep-sea monsters as fire extinguishers. Is it strategic deterrence, or a side effect of Twitter governance? Being so sensitive, even Putin might laugh out loud: It turns out the cheapest form of deterrence is just Medvedev's mouth.
