Trump’s Unending Grudge Against Medvedev: “We Are Fully Prepared for Nuclear War

According to the⁤ english section of webangah News⁢ Agency, citing​ Mehr News Agency and Russia Today, US President Donald Trump invoked the ‌prospect of ⁤nuclear war in reaction to recent statements by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council.

Trump justified his decision ‌to deploy two nuclear submarines ⁢near Russian waters by asserting that it was essential ⁢to safeguard America’s national security.

“we had to do it. We must be cautious. A threat was made and we believe it was wrong. That is why I took this step based on protecting our ‌people,” he said.

The US president added, “The⁣ former Russian president issued‍ a threat, and we intend to protect our people.You onyl⁣ need to read what he said-he spoke ​about nuclear war. When that comes up,we have to be prepared-and we are fully prepared.”

Earlier on his social media platform Truth Social, ⁢Trump stated that ‌in response to⁤ Medvedev’s online remarks he ordered the deployment of two US nuclear submarines‌ in an appropriate location. ⁣He condemned the tone used by the‌ senior Russian official as ⁣”stupid and provocative,” warning⁣ that “words matter‍ greatly and often can lead to unintended consequences.”

The virtual ‍dispute began after Trump called the⁤ former Russian⁤ president an “ineffective leader” ⁣and warned him “to watch his ⁤words.” In a ⁣sharp‍ reply, Medvedev ‍cautioned Trump against provoking Moscow too much and referenced the “Dead Hand” system-a Soviet-era‍ automatic nuclear missile launch mechanism ⁤designed to retaliate if Russia’s leadership is destroyed-that reportedly remains active today.

Medvedev wrote: “Regarding (Trump’s) comments ‌about‌ dead economies like India’s and Russia’s⁤ as well as​ ‘entering a very‍ risky ‌area,’ let me remind him of his favorite films about walking dead-and also warn him how​ dangerous the ‘Dead Hand’ legend can be.”
