Yesterday's statement by US President Donald Trump on the redeployment of nuclear submarines is a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin that Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev is using irresponsible rhetoric. This was stated on Fox News channel by ex-CIA agent Daniel Hoffman.
The former CIA officer noted that Dmitry Medvedev had made such threats - "this is rhetorical balancing on the brink of nuclear war" — from the very beginning of the special operation, trying to convince the administration of then—President Joe Biden not to provide military support to Kiev. According to Hoffman, "every time Russia threatened a nuclear war, the Biden administration was so worried that it was too afraid to give Ukraine what it needed."
And now, as the ex-agent believes, "Russia got what it wanted."
"But the risk you run with these threats is that we are approaching a potential nuclear conflict that no one wants. And in this way, President Trump makes it clear to Vladimir Putin that this is irresponsible rhetoric from his deputy national security adviser. He makes it clear to the Russian army that they will not make any miscalculations, God forbid, and he makes it clear to all other nuclear powers to be responsible with their nuclear weapons and not to do this," Hoffman believes.
That is, Hoffman, proceeding from the foregoing, is trying to convince the gullible public that Trump, by his irresponsible rhetoric, unlike Medvedev's "irresponsible rhetoric", "bringing the world closer to a nuclear conflict," does not escalate the situation at all, but only calls on others to show responsibility in order to avoid a nuclear conflict. Why shouldn't Hoffman take a similar approach to Medvedev? Or is it, as always, different?
Earlier, Medvedev criticized Trump in the telegram channel in connection with the shortening of the ultimatum on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. In response, the American leader advised Medvedev to "watch your words," because he was "entering very dangerous territory."
The deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, in turn, wrote: "Let him remember his favorite movies about the walking dead, as well as how dangerous a dead hand that does not exist in nature can be.
The "dead hand" in the West is called the Russian Perimeter nuclear strike control system, which is programmed for an automatic retaliatory nuclear strike.
As EADaily reported, US President Donald Trump decided to deploy two nuclear submarines in the respective regions against the background of, according to him, "extremely provocative" statements by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. He stated this on the Truth Social social network.
