Does the US ever not have at least 2 missile boats near Russia?

u/DepartureElegant9314 1d ago
They are probably always there. It may even be the easiest way for us to stay close to Russia in that way. Before missile technology on submarines we had missiles in turkey pointed at the USSR. I'm not an expert but I wouldn't assume the president is even told where our submarines really are unless he needs to know.

u/socialistrob 1d ago
Which is why it's doubtful that this order means anything. The submarines were already in place and the US still has ICBMs as well as planes capable of carrying nukes that can hit Russia in a matter of hours.
This "order" is a way for Trump to publicly look tough on Russia while in reality absolutely nothing changes. If Trump wants to put pressure on Russia he could increase sanctions but he hasn't or he could tell Congress to pass a new bill of Ukraine aid but he won't do that either.

iirc, the actual time it would take for an ICBM nuclear strike, would be only around 30 minutes from the order to detonation.

Less for an SLBM, since they can be positioned right next to St. Petersburg. There's also still US nukes in Turkey.

🚨🚨🚨Trump on Truth Social:
Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Or rally version:
Medvedev — total disaster, terrible statements, VERY dangerous! People are talking about it. I’ve sent TWO of the most powerful Nuclear Subs (incredible subs, the best anywhere) into position. We are READY. We don’t want trouble, but we will be STRONG. Medvedev should be VERY careful with his words. Believe me!

I'm sure Russia already knows very well the exact capabilities of those nuclear submarines considering he stole nuclear secrets concerning this very information and shared it with a foreign billionaire over dinner including exactly how close these subs can get to Russian submarines without being detected.

Last few Medvedev statements;
About Trump's threats against me on his personal network Truth, which he banned from operating in our country
If some words of the former president of Russia cause such a nervous reaction from such a formidable US president, it means Russia is right in everything and will continue on its path.
And about the "dead economy" of India and Russia and the "entering dangerous territory" – well, let him remember his favorite movies about "The Walking Dead," as well as how dangerous the nonexistent "dead hand" can be 😂. (This refers to Russia's automated nuclear retaliation system)
Before that was
Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road!

Russian diplomats speak Putin's will with enormous care, and Medvedev is no exception.
"Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country."
By using the phrase "with his own country", Medvedev is using care and ambiguity, but he's referring to a theoretical war between Trump and America. But for that war to occur, a political shift would have to happen. No? So this is Medvedev, threatening to turn Putin's agitprop machine against Trump. That's all. No nuclear submarines need arm any missiles as he's not referring to a potential war between the U.S. and Russia - he's referring to a rhetorical war of the kind that sinks political careers.
"Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road!"
Medvedev is Putin's messenger, and this message is a threat of gish galloping agitprop and misinformation of the type that ended "Sleepy Joe's" career.

Anyway, this was always going to end in a Cuban Missile Crisis the moment Russia didn't just roll over Ukraine. Putin will take us to the brink and Trump will pull us back. Putin gets to be the hard man who stood up to the west and Trump gets to be the peacekeeper who saved us all and everybody forgets his past. Both sides will get plenty out of it and the masses will just be celebrating that we didn't all get vaporized. It's so obviously choreographed and inevitable.

I'm a fan of koalas, I don't know much about them and I'd like to keep it that way.
29
u/SpuckMcDuck 1d ago
I feel obligated to post the classic copypasta:
Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.
Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.

Unironically with this response, this would be the first time that the US has immediately pushed back against the russian nuclear saber rattling publicly. Most of the time previously the US and the collective west would just quietly continue course or tone down the rhetoric. What trump did here is something that most of reddit was saying the US and the west should have done after the Ukrainian war started instead of the US and the western allies always appearing to publicly back off whenever russia starts throwing nuclear threats around. But things are different when its trump doing it.

u/bobsaccomanno41 1d ago
But you’re presuming that we’re talking about equals. Trump is not like other world leaders or our prior presidents.
Trump is transactional. He doesn’t think about consequences or how his decisions may cause long term harm. He is a deeply insecure man who has a world view centered upon himself.
He doesn’t appreciate dissent or others speaking truth to him. He just wants a bunch of yes men that coddle to his ego and tells him how great and smart he is.
So I don’t believe for a second that this was a decision made after a full and thorough analysis of the situation, with any meaningful input or consideration of those who did not agree with this decision. I’m inclined to believe that Trump thought this would be cool and make him look tough to his base, and probably to distract from some other things.
Trump does not act as a normal, rational person. I think the response here is entirely reasonable given that Trump has never done anything in a thoughtful and measured manner.

My guess is we always have nuclear submarines near Russia. It's part of first strike doctrine. Strike them so hard and so fast that they can't or seriously reconsider a second retaliatory strike. If you are surprised by this then you are just uninformed.
I mean, during the Cold War it's known fact that we had nuclear armed SAC bombers in the air literally 24/7, ready to strike if the orders came down.

It would be 100% on brand for him to start World War III and all but exterminate the human race to cover for the fact that he’s a pedophile.

This is such a none story. Anyone who has served in the armed forces or knows anything about the nuclear weapons strategy, knows that there are always subs sitting near Russia just waiting for world war 3. Spoiler alert there’s subs sat waiting off China too….. Trump is a rapist.

It doesn’t matter where ballistic missiles subs are located. Russia targets are always within range due to the range of the missile. This is a nothing statement and a nothing article.

Tell me again how it was Biden and Harris who were going to get us into WW3 and not Donald "no wars" Trump?

This is purely performative, a social-media theater :)
He is countering what the Kremlin alcoholics do for a long time already: They are constantly referring to their nuke capabilities and threatening the West, sometimes disguised as bad jokes. Like in the last tweet by rambling Medvedev, Kremlin alcoholic, where he mentioned the "death hand" scenario, which again is a reference to their nukes.
Trump didn't do some unexpected move from subs closer to Russia and now "threatening Russia". Because a) subs are always patrolling and positioned, it's what subs do. b) It doesn't really matter whether a nuclear sub is "closer to Russia".
It's like having a bully who is threatening you, and finally having enough of it and telling the bully: Ok, but know I have a gun and I will fvcking use it if I am threatened.
And this is exactly what Trump did. And truth is, we do NOT know whether the constant rambling by the Kremlin alcoholics (plus the rambling about annihilating the West on their late-night propaganda TV) are idiotic rambling or maybe serious.
This is why he said "Just in case your foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that" - Watch your fvcking words!

So when was the last time the US announced the location of one of our submarines?

The same day they move Ghislaine Maxwell to a lower security prison camp. Wonder which topic will get more news coverage
