Russian Lawmaker Responds to Trump’s Nuclear Submarine Deployment: “They’ve Been at Gunpoint”

Amid rising geopolitical tensions, a bold exchange between the United States and Russia has sparked global attention. President Donald Trump recently announced the repositioning of two U.S. nuclear submarines near Russia, prompting a firm response from senior Russian lawmaker Viktor Vodolatsky.

In a statement to Russia’s state media TASS, Vodolatsky said, “There are significantly more of our [nuclear] submarines in the world’s oceans. Let [Trump’s] two boats float—they’ve been at gunpoint for a long time.”

Trump’s Escalation and the Nuclear Deterrence Strategy
Trump’s decision, posted via his Truth Social platform, follows heightened tensions over the ongoing war in Ukraine. The former president issued an ultimatum: if Russia does not agree to a ceasefire by August 8, 2025, new economic sanctions would be imposed.

In response, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned that the U.S. was taking “a step towards war,” emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

Military Balance: Submarine Capabilities
Vodolatsky’s remarks referenced the extensive reach of the Russian Navy, claiming superiority in nuclear submarine numbers and weapon strength. According to Newsweek, the U.S. has not confirmed whether the repositioned submarines are nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed, but the announcement alone marks a significant diplomatic move.
