US President Donald Trump confirmed that American nuclear submarines are deployed near Russia, stating, "They are in the region, yeah — where they have to be." This move comes amid heightened tensions following former Russian President Military Medvedev's remarks, which Trump deemed "unacceptable" and "highly provocative".
*Background:*
- Trump ordered two US Navy nuclear submarines to be positioned in "appropriate regions" in response to Medvedev's comments about Russia's nuclear capabilities.
- Medvedev referenced Russia's Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities, warning Trump to remember the "Dead Hand" system, a semi-automated command system designed to launch nuclear missiles if Russia's leadership is taken out.
*Reactions:*
- The US Department of Defense hasn't issued a formal comment on the submarine deployment.
- Russian officials have remained silent, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplaying the move, saying American submarines are already on combat duty and don't signify escalation.
- Defense experts believe the deployment is a strategic signal of deterrence rather than an immediate escalation .
*Potential Implications:*
- The move has raised concerns about nuclear brinkmanship and the potential for miscalculation.
- Trump tied sanctions relief to Russia ending the Ukraine conflict, calling the war "disgusting" and blaming President Biden for the escalation.
