Medvedev's few words led the US to deploy two nuclear submarines
It is said that a few words can make the US deploy two nuclear submarines, and Medvedev can be said to have set a new record.
On the 1st, Trump posted on social media that, given the provocative remarks by former Russian president Medvedev, he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed in appropriate areas to prevent these foolish inciting remarks from stopping here.
It should be noted that since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Medvedev has changed his previous moderate tone towards the West and has repeatedly made strong statements.
The "provocative remarks" by Medvedev that Trump mentioned should refer to two statements he made on social media between July 15 and 29. One was a rebuttal to Trump's "ultimatum," stating that Russia does not care about his threats, and the other was a warning to Trump not to fall into the same mistake as "Sleepy Joe," saying that Russia is not Israel or Iran, and Trump's "ultimatum" would lead to a war between Russia and the United States.
For Medvedev's strong statements, the face-conscious Trump naturally would not let it go, which led to the famous scene of "a few words from Medvedev, the US deploying two nuclear submarines."
However, we also know what kind of person Trump is, often speaking without restraint. The deployment location and time of nuclear submarines, as strategic strike forces, need to be arranged according to corresponding duty tasks. It is highly likely that Trump's so-called "two nuclear submarines have been deployed" is just an empty threat.
Finally, Trump's response to Medvedev's remarks partially reveals the decline of the US Navy: previously, when there was a problem, the president would ask "Where are our nearest aircraft carriers?" Now, Trump is relying on nuclear submarines to hold the stage.
