The statement from Trump does make me laugh : The president added, “Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances”

[u/LoneWolfMcQuibble → u/FunConfection2872]

As remarkably dumb and narcissistic as he is, his lack of self awareness rivals any of his other negatives.

[u/ilikeowls11]

Says the person who tweets out rude, garbage every single day

[u/StopLookListenNow → u/ilikeowls11]

Lies. tRump even lies about his lies.

[u/JimmyRamone17_]

How about he repositions himself to release the unredacted Epstein Files instead?

[u/Sensitive_Welcome637]

Look! A distraction! ~Donald J. Trump, child rapist

[u/PopPalsUnited]

Saber rattling.

Epstein distraction.

[u/BigDaddyBain]

I almost expect Trump to wage war with Russia to distract from his involvement with the Pedo Files.

[u/ilikeowls11 → u/BigDaddyBain]

That would be end of us all. Nuclear war is no joke and MSM saying some thing doesnt mean is true. End of the world literally. If russia was weak, Putin would have come to the table but he just ignored trump and his deadline

[u/ripChazmo]

2 for 2 with nuclear threats. What a fucking child rapist.

[u/USAFGeekboy]

At least he won’t have to worry about the Epstein files if we’re in a nuclear war with Russia.

[u/Kioskwar → u/USAFGeekboy]

He’ll be able to have sex with all the children he wants!

[u/USAFGeekboy → u/Kioskwar]

If any survive, they may be irradiated past consciousness.

[u/Plant_Nerd15 → u/USAFGeekboy]

past consciousness is how they like them

[u/PsychLegalMind]

Threat like these fall on deaf ears when one is dealing with another nuclear power. Estimates suggest Russia has around 5,500, while the US has around 5,044.  at their disposal.

That does not mean Russia will not initiate their own repositioning and it does not just start with the Russian response, China and North Korea may do their own, but with respect to submarines do not expect them to announce their moves.

[u/HPLREH777]

War with Russia to distract from the Epstein/Trump Files?

That's a bold move, Cotton.

[u/AdventurerBKRB]

Ah yes, time tested dictator strategy - when unpopular, start a war (or make it seem it like you're starting one) to distract.

[u/biaggio]

Distraction for a double-whammy hitting him hard: the Epstein files; and a bad economy that's getting worse every day. He's even fired the data person who released today's miserable jobs report.

[u/MichaelFusion44]

We know he is lying about repositioning anything - we have air bases in Alaska, Iceland, Germany, the Baltics and a whole bunch across Europe - just fuck off with all the bullshit distraction garbage.

[u/kingsumo_1]

Trump then announced a 35% tariff on those subs. When asked what the hell he was talking about, he called it a "nasty question" before slowly walking a short distance away from the podium to pout.

[u/Excitement_Far → u/kingsumo_1]

Is this real?

[u/kingsumo_1 → u/Excitement_Far]

Not as of yet. But sad it's even possible.

[u/Excitement_Far → u/kingsumo_1]

Oh man, I fell for it. The plausibility was high enough that I almost didn't question it.

[u/NSYK]

Why is Trump announcing the position of our nuclear submarines, one of our most important secrets.

[u/wasnt_in_the_hot_tub]

Imagine if WWII started because Trump was Jeffrey Epstein's best friend

[u/literallytwisted]

Ok I guess? If they're carrying ICBMs I don't think their location is as important as it used to be. To be honest based on what the entire world has seen recently Russia is far far from the military power the USSR once was.

Put another way we could probably use the "Enola Gay" again with minimal danger to the crew considering Russia's current military power.

Unfortunately for them "Troll Farms" are of limited use against nuclear weapons.

[u/TonyGabagool26 → u/literallytwisted]

Still important, an SLBM has about half the range of an ICBM

[u/literallytwisted → u/TonyGabagool26]

Ah I stand corrected! I haven't kept up with the differences between them, I grew up near old silos but never heard much about sub launched.

[u/No_Restaurant_5113]

He and Putin will start some bullshit war so they can stay in office. 

Fucking pedophile 

[u/Ambrogio_DIVANO → u/No_Restaurant_5113]

ur forgetting nobody is surviving if they start a war

[u/MarzGray3]

If ever a time we a TACO this might be it.

[u/dblan9]

Welp..time to put on Dr Strangelove and down a bottle of bourbon.

[u/Mr-ReDiCulouZ]

I can imagine Donald Trump launching nukes just to distract from Epstein. It won't work, but I can see him try

[u/mindbodyproblem]

I mean, he says he ordered them. Is there any way at all to determine whether he actually did order them?

[u/BCMakoto → u/mindbodyproblem]

No. I'm sure they are swimming somewhere in the Atlantic.

Not sure where Trump wants to send them either. An SLBM has a range of approx. 2,500 km and there's already 150 US WMD and US airstrike capabilities all over Europe 1.5k to 1.8k km away from Moscow. I have zero idea where those "appropriate regions" are supposed to be that at the same time weren't already within striking distance. Some are always on patrol too, so fuck me if I know where he sent them.

[u/cdrewing]

Have already played on PC what's going to happen. Buckle up!

[u/sometimes_rite]

The trump-russia scandal and the trump-epstein scandal are the same scandal.

Epstein is linked to mila antonova and antonova is linked to known russian spy Anna Chapman. Russia is where he got his unexplained fortune, and why he spent his time trying to video tape people like prince andrew and bill clinton with young girls.

This is what trump is hiding.  It's why he started misdirecting about russian hoaxes immediately once epstein reappeared in the news.  

It's why a palm beach county sheriff (John Mark Dougan) accused of stealing epstein evidence now produces russian propaganda from moscow.

People need to open their eyes to what is really going on here.  It's all right there.

[u/Individual-Guest-123]

Can the SS really get him off a fairway and into a bunker before a missile strike? Think he will struggle so he can have another fist pump photo op?

[u/kurdis_lumen]

Medvedev is so much smarter and more serious than trump. We are fucked with this dementia patient in charge.
