U.S. nuclear submarines displace Russia does not react, BBC talks about Trump-Medvedev crash

About that, Steve Rosenberg, who's editor of BBC-that he wrote an article raising questions about Moscow's reaction, and that if there could be a nuclear confrontation between the United States and Russia, or even a version of the Internet age of the rocket crisis in Cuba in 1962?

However, he has expressed scepticism about this by saying he does not believe that something like that could happen at least, judging by initial reactions in Russia.

Russian media have reacted with contempt to Trump's statement.

But he, the response (or, more accurately, the lack of reaction) has been described by Russian authorities as interesting.

At the moment of writing, there was no official statement. Neither the Kremlin nor the Russian Foreign Ministry nor the Defense Department.

Not a word of a Russian U.S. submarine movement on the American coast.

This suggests two options: either Moscow is still analyzing the situation to decide how to react or does not see the need to respond at all.

Russian media reactions suggest more this second.

Trump and Medvedev have been debating social networks for days.

After Trump lowered it from 50 days to less than two weeks of deadline for Russia to end the war in Ukraine, Medvedev posted: “Trump is playing the ultimatum game with Russia... Any new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. ”

Trump replied: “Tell Medvedev, that failed former president who still thinks he's in power, takes care of what he says. You're entering a very dangerous territory. ”

In the next post, Medvedev cited the automatic Soviet nuclear revenge system known as the “Dead Hand”.

This, obviously, was not well received at the White House.

When he was president (2008)2012, Medvedev was viewed as a relatively liberal figure. It has even been quoted often for the expression: “Freedom is better than its lack”.

But since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, it has become one of the most aggressive anti-Western voices on social networks. Most of his statements have gone without much attention, since he is not considered the Kremlin's official voice.

So far because this time the President of the United States himself has noticed.

And not only did he notice but he felt personally hit.

Why did Trump do this?

In an interview for Newsmax, he said: “Medvedev said some very bad things, he mentioned the word éberthoramore. When someone mentions the word "brothor," my eyes start and I think we should be careful, because it's the ultimate threat. ”

But Medvedev has long been accused of <x0) nuclear threats” on social networks is nothing new.

What's clear is that Trump got this virtual encounter very personally and reacted according to his style.

Could it be part of any strategy? The unpredictable has always been part of the way Trump acts, in business and politics: sudden decisions that destabilise opponents before negotiations or during negotiations.

For example, to conclude the war in Ukraine.
