US takes action against Putin
Trump makes an unusual major decision
On August 1st (Friday) local time, US President Trump made an unusual major decision. Trump confirmed on his own social media platform that he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed to appropriate areas. Trump's move implies that as the situation in the Ukraine war escalates, he is preparing for a nuclear strike.
Prior to this, in response to Trump's ultimatum to Putin to end the Russia-Ukraine war (August 8th), the former Russian president and current member of the Russian Security Council, Medvedev, retaliated and refuted it, and clearly warned the United States: Russia is not Iran or Israel, every ultimatum from the United States is a threat, a step toward war.

When asked why he ordered the deployment of nuclear submarines, Trump said, "This is a threat from the former Russian president; we need to protect our people."
It is worth noting that this is a rare public escalation of tensions between two nuclear superpowers, and also a rare moment of brinkmanship in the atomic age on public and online platforms.
