     @ramsey No. Those are military vessels with nuclear weapons on them. A simple missile would not threaten Russia 🇷🇺, as they are already being hit with those by Ukraine 🇺🇦.

     Also, for what it is worth, the US always has ships that can strike Russia 🇷🇺 at a moments notice, but they are positioned as a defensive measure just in case Russia 🇷🇺 attacks a NATO ally.

     @darnell I think “nuclear submarine” means it’s nuclear-powered—not that it’s armed with nuclear missiles. Right?

     @ramsey It can mean either, & the US does have nuclear vessels that do not carry nuclear weapons.

     The hidden context is key, as Trump knows Putin would not be intimidated by anything except a nuclear armed vessel.

     @darnell I knew they were military vessels, but I had no idea they were outfitted with nuclear warheads. I always assumed “nuclear submarine” just meant “nuclear-powered.”
