Trump and his two nuke submarines

Donald Trump sending two nuclear submarines to an appropriate region has got everyone very excited. In reality, it's a decision of no military or deterrence value. If the two boats are "boomers" - nuclear-powered ballistic-missile (nuclear) submarines which is presumably what Trump was hinting at - they can launch their Trident II D5 missiles from a range of about 7,000 miles. So, they could hit a target in Russia from any oceon, and even from an Ohio class boat moored in its home port in King's Bay, Georgia or at Banggor in Washington state. The one person who knows this Vladimir Putin. So he knows that the Trump announcement, delivered by social media, was a political statement, not a warning of potential military confrontation. Trump got the headlines he wanted, and Putin kept quiet. Whether it was a statement that was necessary or wise is difficult to say but the fact is, it reminded Russia and the rest of the world that the US is not pepared to put with the ridiculous, inflammatory, irresponsible comments from the former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, now a flunkey official on the Security Council of the Russian Federation. Medvedev has become a laughing stock for his outrageous, bellicose comments. But this time Trump thought he had gone too far when he warned of nuclear war between the US and Russia. Perhaps Putin will now order him to quieten down or shut up. BUY MY NEW PAPERBACK SPY THRILLER, AGENT REDRUTH, FROM AMAZON
