U.S. President Donald Trump announced on August 1 that he had ordered two nuclear-capable submarines to reposition “in appropriate regions” in response to inflammatory remarks by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who had warned of nuclear retaliation and referenced the Cold War “Dead Hand” system . Analysts say the move is largely symbolic, as U.S. subs are already routinely available for deterrence . In Moscow, senior lawmaker Viktor Vodolatsky dismissed the escalation, noting Russia already tracks U.S. submarines and sees no need to react. (PC: AFP)
