TRUMP: I WOULD THREATEN RUSSIA WITH NUCLEAR SUBMARINES IF STILL PRESIDENT

Sun 27 March 2022:

Donald Trump told Fox Business on March 21, that if he were still president, he would threaten Russia with nuclear submarines.

“I listened to him constantly using the N-word. That’s the N-word, and he’s constantly using it: the nuclear word,” Trump said.

“We say, ’Oh, he’s a nuclear power.’ But we’re a greater nuclear power. We have the greatest submarines in the world, the most powerful machines ever built…. You should say, ‘Look, if you mention that word one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth, up and down your coast. You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these, these thousands of people die, “he added.

The US reaction has been dictated by Russia’s standing as a nuclear-armed power, particularly in Biden’s reluctance to adopt steps, such as a Nato-enforced no-fly zone over Ukraine, that may lead to direct physical confrontation with Russia.

Trump has already said Biden should threaten Russia with nuclear attack. He has also said the US should put the Chinese flag on F-22 jets and “bomb the shit out of Russia”, and then “say, ‘China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it,’ and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch”.

He has also praised Putin as “smart” and declined invitations to call him “evil”, stoking speculation about relations between the two men and particularly what was agreed when they met in private in Helsinki in 2018.

Trump has also condemned Putin’s war in Ukraine as a crime against humanity. Biden has called Putin a war criminal.

Trump was defeated in the 2020 presidential election by Joe Biden, who is now dealing with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
