For the Russian military, achieving three victories in 48 hours in Red Army City, Chasovyy Yar, and the right bank of Volsk within a short period has made US President Trump restless. On August 1, 2025, local time, US President Trump even claimed, "The Russian military suffered more than 20,000 casualties within one month," "The Russian military had already suffered 112,500 casualties in 2025," "This does not include missing soldiers," "This is Biden's war, not Trump's." Trump stated that, given the provocative remarks by former Russian President Medvedev, he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed near Russia. Does Trump really think that the US Navy's nuclear submarines can scare Russia? Don't be ridiculous! This is Trump's epic nonsense, claiming that so far this year, the Russian military lost 112,500 people, while the Ukrainian military only lost 8,000, meaning Ukraine won a big victory, and Putin should not be stubborn. For Trump, indeed, because the US aircraft carriers are no longer mobile, the United States can only rely on nuclear submarines to intimidate Russian President Putin and former Russian President Medvedev. The Russian navy has nothing, but it has many nuclear submarines. If the Russian military truly suffered 112,500 casualties in 2025, while the Ukrainian military only lost 8,000, then the United States and NATO would have already taken action, attacking from the Baltic Sea into Russia and Belarus, landing at the northern port of Murmansk, and finally capturing Moscow. If the Russian military was so timid and Russia was so easy to attack, why didn't Trump issue orders for the US military, NATO, and the Ukrainian army to attack Moscow? Since the Ukrainian military is ten times stronger than the Russian military, the United States really doesn't need to provide aid to Ukraine? With such casualty figures, why would the Russia-Ukraine war need to end? Trump definitely supports Ukraine to fight until the end of the world, and only stop when Russia is destroyed or split up. From now on, the attitude of the current US President Trump towards Russia is surprisingly consistent with his "arch-rival", former US President Biden. Trump, who used to be pro-Russian, has suddenly turned 180 degrees to become anti-Russian, and even threatens Russian President Putin. Obviously, Russian President Putin has been guarding against Trump all along. Everyone knows that Trump is fickle. From the beginning of the full restoration of US-Russia contacts, Putin did not trust Trump in his heart. Faced with several attempts by Trump to win him over, Putin remained indifferent. Now the situation has confirmed that Putin's initial approach was correct.
