Russia is silent at Trump’s nuclear move

Could this be the first time in history, social media spitting nuclear escalation?

President Donald Trump, offended by posts of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, says he has ordered two nuclear submarines to approach Russia.

So how will Moscow react? Are we on our way to nuclear opposition between America and Russia? The Cuban Missile Crisis of the Cuban Rocket Crisis of 1962?

I doubt if I judge an initial reaction in Russia.

Russian news publications have quite rejected Trump’s message.

Speaking to the Moscow Komsomolette newspaper, a military commentator has come to the conclusion that Trump is “throwing an intrigue of temper”.

A retired Lieutenant-General told Kommersant that the US president’s conversation was “I was” meaningless. That’s how he gets his kicks. “

“I’m sure Trump has not really gave any orders (for submarines),” a Russian security expert suggested of the same document.

Commercial also mentions that in 2017, Trump said he had sent two nuclear submarines to the Korean Peninsula as a warning to North Korea.

Still, not long after, Trump had a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

So, bizarre, can the last deployment of Donald Trump’s submarine be a precursor to the US-Russia summit?

I wouldn’t go that far.

But the reaction of the Russian authorities was interesting.

There was no one during writing.

Not from the Kremlin. Not from the Russian Foreign Ministry. Neither the Ministry of Defense.

And I did not see any message about Russian nuclear submarines to be positioned closer to America.

Which suggests that either Moscow is still studying the situation and works what to do, or that Moscow does not need to react.

The reaction of the Russian press, which I mentioned earlier, suggests that this is the last.

Trump has been sparring with Medvedev on social media for several days.

After the US President has reduced his 50-day deadline for Russia to end his war in Ukraine to less than two weeks, Medvedev publishes that Trump “plays the ultimatum game with Russia … Every new ultimatum is a threat and a step to war.”

Trump replied: “Tell Medvedev, the failed former Russian president, who thinks he is still in power to be careful about what he is saying. He enters a very dangerous territory.”

Medvedev’s next post contained a reference to a “dead hand”, the automatic nuclear revenge system developed in the Soviet Union.

It is clear that this did not go well with the White House chief.

When he was president of Russia, between 2008 and 2012, Medvedev was regarded as a relatively liberal figure.

“Freedom is better than no freedom,” he was quoted in a certain way.

But it is getting more and more fierce. After the full -scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine, he has gained a reputation for bombastic, anti -Western publications on social media. Most of them have passed unnoticed as it is not regarded as the Kremlin’s voice.

Suddenly he was spotted: by the President of the United States.

And not just noticed. It is just below Trump’s skin.

It’s one thing not to like a social media publication. We were all there.

But if you don’t like it so much, you unfold nuclear submarines you feel like superfluous.

So why did Trump do it?

Here is Trump’s own explanation of his interview with Newsmax: “Medvedev said some things that are very bad, talking about nuclear. When you mention the word nuclear, my eyes glow and say that we are better at care because this is the supreme threat.”

But Medvedev has long been accused of nuclear salad through social media. This is nothing new.

It is clear that Trump took Medvedev’s last publications very personally and responded respectively.

Can there be a strategy in the game? Unpredictability feels like a large part of the way of doing things, in business and in politics; Making unexpected decisions that can put rivals and opponents out of balance before talks or during negotiations.

For example, to end the war in Ukraine.

The surprising implementation of submarines can fall into this category.
