You did what now?

Im no miltary strategist. But shouldnt submarine operations be.... like secret?

I remember back when Trump got caught with all those classified docs there was a story about him showing off some about submarines to a rich Australian dude. There was a comment about how everyone in the navy knows that you do not talk about subs. Everything about them is top secret, and if it were anyone else there would be very severe consequences.
- Yeah. Also, happy cake day!
What should be a secret? That nuclear (propulsion or arms?) submarines are in appropriate regions? I should hope that that is always the case.
- I wonder if that means he ordered them to be in the same places they were already planning to be...
IMHO what Trump writes about is just business as usual. Standard posturing (both literally and figuratively) that is happening anyhow all the time on all sides. Anyhow, all it says is "appropriate positions", so I counter: shouldn't military submarines always be in "appropriate positions"?
Normally you wouldn't ~~tweet~~ ~~truth~~ lie about something like that at all. My guess is one of his PR people thought a little fearmongering might distract from other issues...
Do you know where "appropriate regions" are?
Considering this, I would normally treat anything said about secret weapons a bluff. But given who's talking, I've no way to tell if it's stupidity instead

Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.

Is he... Is he talking about himself?

He isn't that self aware, so no.
- That's what makes it funny. That's what makes it sad
- Well shit

Literally went nuclear trying to shove Epstein outta the news cycle

Nuke subs just means powered by nuclear. They may or not have nuclear weapons.
- But do you think Trump means it that way? The dude has a hard on for nukes and wants to appear like a big, strong, threatening man (despite his itty bitty nuke chode), so to me it seems more likely that he's referring to subs with nukes on-board. Assuming there's any truth to his threat at all, which given the source, does warrant extreme skepticism.

This guy going to start a nuclear war to keep people from talking about Epstein??

It would be pretty distracting.
- What did you do during Epstein War I, grandpa?
  I imagine a future conversation occurring.
Well, a lot of pedophile billionaires WILL die in that one, so I'm willing to be convinced
And honestly, maybe a global nuclear war is the appropriate action.
- Username does NOT check out.

Why on Earth would you broadcast where you're putting your nuclear subs? The entire point is for enemies not to know where they are. I mean I assume he's lying, but fuck.

Eh, it makes sense as a deterrent. And he didn't specify where they are. But I don't think he knows "nuclear submarines" are not nuclear armed submarines. They are just nuclear-powered, meaning they don't consume oxygen to run (no fuel burned) and don't need to resurface for a long time.
- “Nuclear-powered submarine” is basically redundant these days for the US, since they all are and have been since 2007. It can be safely assumed that a reference to a “Nuclear Submarine” in this context is one that is nuclear-armed.
Did he? So you know where „appropriate regions“ are? And you think they haven’t been there before?
I see nothing in that post that isn't business as usual - except the fact that Medvedev and Trump, two man babies, apparently got into a fight.
Submarines are always stationed in "appropriate positions". This is just deflecting from other issues, you know...
That said I'm not underestimating the danger the Trump admin poses for the world, generally.

Let's all dance to "The Epstein Dodge"!

How does a submarine release the Epstein files?

WW3 back on the menu fam!

Is it distracting from Epstein and his pedo rape island?. Then it's on the menu
- Yes exactly! Anything Donny does or says is just a distraction from the list being released.

This is what's going, they're having a dick fight.

Medvedev:

“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,” Medvedev blasted on social media earlier this week. “Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don’t go down the Sleepy Joe road!”

Trump:

“Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let’s keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!” Trump wrote in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Medvedev:

“It’s not for you or Trump to dictate when to ‘get at the peace table’. Negotiations will end when all the objectives of our military operation have been achieved. Work on America first, gramps!” Medvedev fumed.

So children. They're both children.
- turtles all the way down...
  I'm an idiot and it scares me the number of times i've been the "smartest person in the room"...
lol the insults.

This isn't !NonCredibleDefense@lemmy.world ?

I can't believe this idiot was voted to be in charge of ALL the nukes. What the fuck is wrong with you people?!

Oh, lots of things.
We started with a genocide of the native people and then the wealthy land owners revolted against paying taxes.
We have a representative government
- if it was representative you'd have more than two parties

Thank you for your attention on this matter

He ends it like a passive-aggressive email.

That's one of his favorite phrases

I propose a new amendment. A person must be homeless for a presidential term before they can be allowed to serve in a presidential capacity.
Then the least of us can lead with empathy, at least that is the hope.
Then maybe we can get fucking health care, including mental health.
Honestly this is just standard posturing, no threat. Not revealing exact positions either. Putin probably does this sort of shit daily (not on social media though).
Anything to distract from more pressing issues as you said.
And he clearly did not write this one himself.
Taunting North Korea's leader in 2017 by calling him "Rocket boy"*, that was a different matter: for a moment we all held our breath. Ultimately nothing happened, he even stumbled into probably his one and only diplomatic win, but still: that was inflammatory.
(and any number of similar tweets since then; that was just the first one while in office)

I suspect that this isn’t the real Donald Trump.

Will the real DJT please stand up, please stand down, please fuck off.

Dude fuck all of these people.

I really should get around to watching Wag The Dog.

Before it's too late.

Not enough capital letters.

And way too coherent, grammatically correct, generally making sense.
It's always so obvious what he wrote himself and what some PR person wrote for him.
True. It doesn’t seem to be real if it doesn’t have capital letters in it.
- And the lack of insults.

The fuck? Epstein, bitch!!

Trump's Truth is a public archive of Donald Trump's communications on TRUTH Social. We believe this is an essential part of the historical record, and that it must be preserved for its educational, journalistic and research value.

Ha! Totally agree, yet still somehow tongue in cheek.

The 4d chess is looking too obvious at this point, right?

i liked 2014 when dan and phil were on the radio, wandavision was on tv, and we weren't living under the threat of ww3
