In a warning to Russia, President Donald Trump said Friday he’s ordering the repositioning of two U.S. nuclear submarines “based on the highly provocative statements” of the country’s former president, Dmitry Medvedev, who has raised the prospect of war online.

      I will always have a bit of rage for the leftist who do nothing for four years and then whine about ‘the lesser of two evils’

    You don’t really need to reposition nuclear subs as a show of power - that’s not how they work.

    They play a specific role in nuclear deterrence, in that they stay hidden and provide retaliation capability in case the mainland gets attacked and nuclear silos in Montana, etc. get destroyed.

      The Trumpster, as usual, has no idea what he’s talking about; I remember, I think it was in one of the debates he was asked about the nuclear triad and he clearly had no idea what it was. Always comforting to know that someone like that has their finger close to the button at all times.
