Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday ridiculed US President Donald Trump for failing to deliver on his promise to send nuclear submarines to Russian waters. This exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between the two nations and adds another layer to their complex relationship.
On Tuesday, Trump labeled Medvedev as “a stupid person” while asserting that he had moved “a submarine or two” closer to Russia. In August, Trump claimed he ordered deploying two nuclear submarines to “appropriate regions” in response to perceived threats from Medvedev. This assertion raised eyebrows, as many questioned the validity of his statement.
The Black Cat’s Absence
Medvedev took to social media platform X to respond to Trump’s claims, referring to the situation as a “new episode of the thriller series,” suggesting that Trump’s assertions lacked credibility. Medvedev sarcastically remarked that Trump insisted the submarines were “very well hidden.”
He further added, “As the saying goes, it’s hard to find a black cat in a dark room — especially if it’s not there.” This comment underscores Medvedev’s skepticism regarding Trump’s claims and highlights the ongoing rivalry between the two leaders.
This feud reflects deeper US -Russia tensions over Ukraine and NATO expansion. Medvedev’s team likely exploited Trump’s false claim to undermine US credibility globally. The incident also showcases how disinformation fuels modern geopolitical conflicts dangerously as both leaders weaponize social media while ignoring verifiable facts about military capabilities.
