US President Donald Trump on Friday announced that he had ordered two nuclear submarines to deploy near Russia, responding to what he called “foolish and inflammatory” threats from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.
Taco is pulling another Epstein distraction card?
Lol, we’re all going to fucking die before his term is over.
Hey, at least I don’t need to put out a campaign sign saying “Atomic Winter 2028”
Sad that all we can do is wait
Just for show. He’s still putin’s bitch.
Yeah. Talk is cheap. Watch what he actually does, ignore the firehose of bullshit.
I was walking along, minding my business, when that orange colored guuuy
flash, bam, alakazam
doomed us all to diiie
Dog and pony show to look tough. We all know who he reports to.
Medvedev’s been getting a little too freaky during phone sex
He is deploying the USS Jeffrey Epstein and the USS Distraction.
The USS SQUIRREL
I am honored to be the president of peace!

Also, publicly announcing your nuclear sub movements is a pretty good way to get positive ID on some of the yet unidentified algae bloom wakes, so kudos, Donny. Ta!
good way to get positive ID on some of the yet unidentified algae bloom wakes,
need more context for what appears to be a pretty clever comment
Just from reading the comment I guess there have been wakes spotted in fields of algae (which can be quite extensive during a bloom) via images from space and no ship movement could be attributed to them.
Apparently in algae bloom regions ships leave wakes that “can be seen in satellite radar images as long bright strips of enhanced backscatter with characteristic length of up to several hundred kilometres lasting more than 5 hours” according to this Russian Space Research Institute article.
Fuck yeah, thanks for answering.
there it is!
Fuck yeah. Thank you for asking.

Leavitt: It’s time Trump won a Nobel Peace Prize
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said it’s “well past time” that President Donald Trump received the Nobel Peace Prize.
lol, he wouldn’t even win the Nobel pizza prize if it was free after 30 minutes and he’d waiting a year.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if they held the NPP out as a carrot to get him through his term without starting WWIII. He wants the recognition and praise so bad it might just work.
Man I wish he’d bring war to the warmongers, instead of threatening Canada and Greenland and Europe.
This feels fake, though. Theater for the anti-Russian GOP.
he’s still pedophile.
Every news outlet should just fist that into every headline.
Known pedophile and rapist, insert headline
“He also did not elaborate on the locations, which are kept secret by the US military.” OK who in the cabinet is going to leak the location first, anyone taking bets?
Trump will while trying to brag.
“Our nuclear submarines were deployed so fast, the fastest they’ve ever been deployed. They made the trip from China to Crimea in under a week. So fast”
is anyone keeping an eye on the War Thunder forums?
You gotta get the season pass for Warthunder if you want that.
Cue a bottle of russian vodka being delivered to Pete’s office
The wife of the drunkard who leaked belligerent assault plans on Snapchat.
The white supremacist tattooed gentleman from Fox News who got appointed by a razor thin margin where only 50 Republicans voted for him?
They tend to move around though.
Mtg
He is probably going to give them to Putin as a gift.
Their relationship has changed. I don’t think Trump cares about Putin anymore. The pee tape being released (assuming it does exist) won’t harm him, and Trump no longer relies on Putin’s funding or social media manipulation for elections. Trump got most of his funding for the last election from Elon and people who know Elon, and now Trump can create other ways for other foreign influence to launder money to him (such as the Trump cryptocurrency).
Meanwhile, Trump feels directly snubbed that his “deadlines” for a Ukraine ceasefire have been ignored by Putin. That’s why you see renewed funding for Ukraine.
Narcissists can be very deferential to people they see as equal or above them on the social hierarchy, and Trump likely saw Putin that way. But not anymore.
Trump likes Putin because he showered him with praise and admiration for 20 years, not because of some threats of blackmail. He got invited to all the big parties in Moscow, but never got invited to any in Britain, or France, or Washington, hence why he hates them and loves Russia.
This? This is all theater for the part of the Republicans that still don’t like Putin. This isn’t real action.
Where are the Republicans that still hate Russia? They’ve been very quiet for the last decade. Wherever they are, I see no reason Trump would care about them.
Giving funding back to Ukraine is concrete action.
Your first paragraph can be true while also having a recent falling out.
There are no Republicans that still hate Russia.
Obligatory reminder that when Putin ordered his puppets home on Independence Day, they fucking boarded a plane and kissed the ring.
They know about it and protect their own. “What’s said in the family stays in the family.”
Shit maybe the CIA is slowly deprogramming him, who knows. He’s announced funding back to Ukraine, they’ve asked for the details. Again I’ll wait till I see concrete action.
“No ties attached I swear”
Keys are in the ignition.
Now the akulas can record the sound signatures of the top secret ultra quiet american subs. It’s a win-win for the ruskies.
Part of me wondered if the Akulas are even still in service because of how old they are, but then I remembered the state of the Russian Army in the Ukraine invasion and realized that of course they’re still using subs from the 90s.
I mean, so are the Americans with the Los Angeles Class. But Russia also has a modernized submarine, NATO name Severodvinsk.
JFC. The President of the United States has publicly announced where he’s moved the most powerful weapon platforms in all human history, whose whole raison d’etre is to be fucking covert, utterly hidden. Just so he could flex.
Of all the crazy shit the man has done, this one rustles my jimmies.
The man is still an idiot but saying we have 2 nearby is useless information considering how covert they are and how much space they could be in. Foreign Nuclear subs have literally crashed into each other because they are so sneaky they couldn’t hear each other until they literally hit and “nearby” can include an area that is millions of square miles.
I’m sorry, but this is the one?
France did the same thing when US threatened to annex Greenland and moved nuclear submarines in the Area. it’s a great deterrent.
To be fair on that, there’s no point in a doomsday device if nobody knows you have one. Unless he gave away a specific location…
He could always say he did and lie, it wouldn’t be the first time, and it’s more in-character of such pathological liar con man.
Meh, maybe you’re right, but flexing is equally in character.
Yeah, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the military was completely ignoring him in such regards, if Hegseth was stopping weapons shipments to Ukraine without the president knowing why should we believe he knows anything that is going on with them. He’s probably just a racist, sexist, pedophile being used as a puppet because it appeals and upsets enough people to be used as a guise.
The boomers were already in place. Think our finest weapon platform wasn’t already in range to hit Russia? But saying so out loud is a threat of Biblical proportions.
Medvedev’s comment:
“Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country,” the Russian official said.
He talking about a hot war between Russia and the US or a US Civil War? Cause… He may have a point if it’s the latter.
The first one between Russia and US.
Ah, the usual bluster then.
After musk opened the doors to Russia who the hell knows what Russia knows now.
Also there is no reason to goto war with them. They don’t want our land and we don’t want theirs. wtf is wrong with this fucking sick world.
They won’t go to war. Trump likes to look tough and pretend he’s a powerful leader. He needs an ego boost after all the negative press about him fucking underage girls and poor jobs outlooks.
There will likely be a lot of stupid conflicts over the Arctic in the oncoming decades, sad to say.
