Trump threatens Russia with nuclear submarines [1]

That's nuclear powered and nuclear missile equipped submarines. As if Trump didn't have enough already going on the way to WWIII, now he has to threaten the other biggest nuclear power with bravado. It would have been best to just ignore what Medvedev said yesterday, but he just couldn't pass it up.
"Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the 'N' word (Nuclear!)..."
He did hear that. So did we all. It wasn't Putin. Ignore it. Would you want Russia to react to something Kamala Harris said now?
"... saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?"
Yes, he did say that and you just reacted like he hoped, that it would upset you. It's called propaganda, dolt. Trump tries to be cute with the "figment of my imagination."
"If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY."
Right. A Russian politician, which is all he is now, but an ally of Putin, does not set policy. Stephen Miller sets policy for Trump in a far greater capacity than Medvedev would for Putin. What did Miller say to Trump about attacking Iran, or was it all Fox News edging him on?
"The 'N word' should not be treated so casually. I guess that's why Putin's 'THE BOSS.'"
No, The Boss is Bruce Springsteen. Trump just wants to act like the boss. And he's famous for using the other N-word in private.
"... the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines."
Trump doesn't differentiate between nuclear powered and nuclear equipped submarines. But we know he's talking about submarines with missiles with nuclear warheads. 20 years ahead of the Russians I find hard to believe.
"They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks --- All 30 hit their marks perfectly."
Trump is threatening with the wrong missile. Tomahawks are really great guided missiles, but the nuclear variant was retired long ago. Just conventional warheads now.
"... thank you to the Captain and Crew!"
I was looking for a "thank you for your attention to this matter" at the end. Some other third person insanity along the way. Instead the whole post is insane.
There has to be enough of Congress to see that Trump is not figuratively but literally insane now. There is no longer any "reasonable doubt."
I wish that our allies, if we still have any, would not react to this, but they must. Russia will, too.
The attack on Iran without Congressional authorization was already an impeachable offense. Calling Thune, Johnson and Schumer is not consultation with "Congress." This is a direct call for the 25th Amendment, as Trump is no longer capable of fulfilling the duties of being the president. This is still another time where I wished he had gone golfing instead.
Bad news on another front as Iran has just attacked US bases in Qatar and Iraq.
Now what?
