Trump has moved two nuclear submarines towards Russia

[quintessentone]

Putin's words matter most, but Medvedev's aggressive tone can signal internal sentiment or future moves.

It's posturing. 

As for Russia's nuclear subs, their military infrastructure is built to withstand disasters like earthquakes.

But without confirmation.........................

The pier appears to be damaged, but were there any subs berthed there at the time?

I believe Russia's past President does not speak for Putin, Lavrov does that, as Trump's advisors must know, right? What with Trump's admiration of Putin and now Putin laughing at him, Trump's ego took a large blow, so send in the nuclear subs ... for what?

It's difficult to know if all the piers were destroyed or if some are still operational. I would tend to agree with you that since there previously were severe earthquakes in that specific region one would think the Russians would have built all infrastructure to withstand those destructive forces.

Lavrov, speaking for Putin, fits the usual Russian narrative.

Putin rarely comments directly.

As for nuclear subs, any such move would be more about deterrence than action.

Still, it's dangerous posturing all the same. 

But i think the boats are simply on patrol as they would be any other time. 

Trump's just pointing it out.

Public Strategy sometimes is the same as Classified Strategy

regret asking, going back to praying

no silly! keep living with fear of ultimate destruction dangling over your head, and keep paying attention to the political warmongers who are so important! your support of their righteous manoeuvring is the only thing keeping you safe! you are supposed to keep thinking that they are more powerful than god because armageddon is in their hands and nuclear weapons are totally not a psyop!

The actual locations of nuclear submarines on any given day, week, or month are highly classified.  But telling an opponent you are essentially ramping up your preparedness for a conflict, if one should occur, is not an uncommon way of telling them that you are not going to back down from a confrontation. When B-1 bombers are moved to Diego Garcia island to be within easy striking range of Iran, or aircraft carrier strike groups are moved to the Red Sea, it sends a message. It's called "saber rattling".

The article doesn't describe what kind of "nuclear submarines" he's talking about, but I assume that he's referring to "boomers" that carry a large number of sub-launched ballistic missiles instead of attack subs that mainly go after other ships. And I assume that those boomers he's talking about are already at sea.  The thing is, those sub-launched missiles on the boomers can fly half-way around the world, so they can basically target any point on Earth from being stationed at any point in the ocean.  Saying that they have been moved to "appropriate regions" doesn't change anything since they are pretty much always in "appropriate regions".

We also follow the same rules with movements of British submarines, and know it's all just posturing by Trump to let Putin know he needs to keep his dogs on a tighter leash.
By letting Medvedev and the Russian media bark, Putin can keep out of the squabble and maintain face, being able to maintain a 'safe' distance from WW3.

Color me nervous. :(

Nice, the future of Armageddon survival hinges on Truth Social and Telegram posts.

That’s... reassuring.

This whole thing seems to be just another "look here blah blah" to me and is just a distraction from all the things that slip under the radar.

The fact that naval maneuvers would or should be broadcast to the world says a lot me thinks.

A game of open words would never reflect what is actually going on.

The only thing I could imagine being of benefit in this announced move would be to position US subs in certain places to scare the real target (not Russia) and use distraction while letting the actual target consider their guilt.

5D Chess anyone?

Let's also not forget our dear friend "Q" who reminded us of some nuggets regarding submarines:

#4623

Epstein island.
Who owns the surrounding islands [close proximity]?
Unique skill sets of Maxwell?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pUzcROR...=emb_title
SUBmarine pilot [unusual]?
Helicopter pilot?
What benefit might that serve?
Q

Interesting timing eh? How many kids could fit in a private sub?

I would like to inquire of Q (with highest respect) whether RED_OCTOBER refers to
1) the fictional SUBMARINE whose torpedo homed in on itself and destroyed itself or
2) the [RED OCTOBER] [Красный Oктябрь] cyberespionage malware discovered in October 2012-January 2013. It operated worldwide for up to 5 years before its discovery. It sent info ranging from diplomatic secrets to personal information, including from mobile devices. Red October was termed an advanced cyberespionage campaign intended to target diplomatic, governmental and scientific research organizations worldwide. or
3) Something else------------------------

>>339453
Future news will highlight.
Note "The Hunt For" was dropped.
Details matter.
Q

When this Q post was written, perhaps the hunt was already over and the target was found.

I love all this wierd wacky god and evil madness in the world. Utopia would be boring in comparison.

Ukraine is in dire straits and sure as cause and effect will be collapsing if NATO does not send in massive amounts of manpower. What is happening is a mobilization for a ground strike against Russia from Romanis for one, Kazakstan for two plus all the other NATO countries on Russia's border. Roads are closed at Night in Romania as troops pour in. Russia must be getting very nervous hence the rhetoric building. The western public are kept totally oblivious to the pending danger it must be a new style propaganda where the people paying for it seem to be oblivious of what they are paying for.
  It is logical to suggest that when all the troops are in one place ready to do what they have been paid to do. Russia will have little choice but to get a bang for their bucks. One thing is for sure that if it goes off with nukes I doubt whether there will be many low earth satellites left working, Now Britain is calling the people to get at least 75 hours of survival gear in place along with Europe It sounds like this is going to go off sooner rather than later.

I personally think that the 'survival gear' is because of the continual attacks on Europe and Britain's infrastructure from foreign countries. Eventually one is going to get through and could cause absolute havoc.

Ukraine has kept Russia at bay for 3 years now with massive losses to Russian armed forces with the help of it's allies supplies in trying to defend its sovereign territory, Russia has shown that unless it used it's nukes, it wouldn't stand a chance with a larger armed force, a country like Poland would be a massive problem to Russia, let alone the E.U. or NATO. Ukraine has shown that Russian forces aren't really up to scratch.

Russian media likes to threaten the west with total nuclear annihilation as a show of force for not just it's outside enemies but it's own population too. Trump broadcasting his intentions with his subs could simply be a bit of one-upmanship to put Medvedev on the spot and make Putin bring him to heel. Lavrov and Medvedev are just Putin's mouth pieces so he has deniability.
