Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump's nuclear saber rattling.

Trump and former Russian President Medvedev have been arguing and running their mouths on social media.

The former Russian president mocked Trump's deadlines, said Russia didn't care

about them, and said Trump was being theatrical. As the two smack talked, Trump told the other

to watch his mouth. Medvedev made reference to Russia's automated retaliatory nuclear response system.

In response to the Twitter fight, the President of the United States said he redeployed nuclear

submarines.

Quote, based on the highly provocative statements of the former president of Russia, Dmitri 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.

Fantastic. In six months, we've gone from maintaining

a nuclear deterrent as a superpower to making random nuclear threats via social media like

North Korea or, well, Russia. These types of statements do not convey strength. They convey weakness. The U.S.

has enough nuclear weapons to trigger the collapse of modern civilization. It's a statement of

fact. There is no reason to mention it or threaten it at all. Now, let's examine Trump's specific statement.

This part in particular. Quote, 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.
