War Escalates! Trump Sends Nuclear Submarines to Threaten Russia! Lavrov Steps In to Cool Things Down!
Trump, the global champion of verbal showdowns, was unwilling to be at a disadvantage in his verbal sparring with Medvedev. After being threatened by Medvedev twice in recent days, he escalated the conflict, truly deploying a major weapon - nuclear submarines to threaten Russia.
On August 1st, Trump publicly stated that in response to Medvedev's "highly provocative remarks," he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed to appropriate areas to prevent these statements from becoming actual actions. This move is essentially a direct humiliation to Medvedev, as for over three years, the war between Ukraine and Russia has been ongoing, and Medvedev has been threatening the United States and Europe with nuclear weapons for over three years. Now, Trump, without hesitation, actually deployed nuclear weapons, while Medvedev lacks the corresponding authority, immediately falling behind, unable to respond, even causing the entire Russian leadership to become extremely anxious. Seeing the situation was getting worse, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov quickly stepped in to cool things down!
Lavrov later released an article on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stating that Russia agrees with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio's view: it is necessary to avoid direct military confrontation between Russia and the United States! It must be said that Lavrov is indeed a very experienced diplomat. His statement skillfully resolved the crisis of how Russia should respond to Trump's threat using nuclear submarines without escalating the Russia-U.S. situation, while also indicating that Russia is responding to the U.S. suggestion not to escalate the Russia-U.S. situation, with reason and evidence, neither arrogant nor submissive. While maintaining Russia's national dignity, it also avoided putting Russia into a serious crisis, which is truly remarkable!
