Trump orders deployment of 2 nuclear submarines near Russia as tensions escalate between two superpowers
New Delhi: Amid rising tensions with Russia, US President Donald Trump has ordered deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russia. He has also threatened it to face serious consequences. However, he did not say where the submarines will be deployed. Why did Trump deploy nuclear submarines near Russia? Trump informed about this decision on the social media site Truth Social. He blamed the provocative rhetoric of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for his decision. During his visit to Scotland on July 28, Trump had announced that Russia has 10 to 12 days to end the Ukraine war. If Russia does not agree to negotiate for a ceasefire during this time, then 'secondary tariffs' will be imposed on countries trading with Russia. What did Trump write on social media post? Trump wrote on the social media site Truth Social, 'Due to the provocative rhetoric of former Russian President and Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, I have ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russia, so that provocative statements remain limited to rhetoric only. Words are very precious and sometimes inadvertently serious consequences can be suffered. I hope this will not be such a case.' When Trump called it a dead economy, Russia reminded him of Dead Hand. Dead Hand was an old nuclear weapon control system of Russia that was capable of launching a retaliatory attack even if the country's leadership was gone. Trump called India and Russia 'dead economies' Trump had called India and Russia dead economies after imposing 25% tariff on India on July 30. He had said, 'Let India and Russia sink with their economies, what does it matter to me.' In response to this, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had said that the US President has panicked. Medvedev had written on Telegram, 'Trump should remember the dangerous power of the Dead Hand, even though it no longer exists. If the powerful President of America gets so scared by a few words of the former President of Russia, then Russia's path is absolutely correct. We will continue on our path.'

New Delhi: Enforcement Directorate on Friday put travel curbs on Reliance ADAG chief Anil Ambani by issuing a lookout circular after summoning him for questioning at the agency HQ here on Aug 5 in connection with an alleged money laundering racket involving group entities. The summons were based on findings of probes being conducted by multiple agencies. On Friday, ED searched three premises in Bhubaneswar and one in Kolkata after finding alleged evidence of Rs 68-crore fake bank guarantee provided to Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited on behalf of Reliance NU BESS Ltd/Maharashtra Energy Generation Ltd. The guarantee was generated by a shell entity registered in Bhubaneswar, allegedly linked to ADAG. Reacting to the allegations, ADAG said: "The company and its subsidiaries acted bonafidely and have been a victim of fraud, forgery and cheating conspiracy." Due disclosure made to stock exchanges: Reliance ADAG In its defence, Reliance ADAG said, 'The company has made a due disclosure on this to the stock exchanges on Nov 7, 2024.

After 'Dead Hand' Threat, Trump Moves Two Nuclear Submarines Near Russia
US President Donald Trump on Friday has ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in the "appropriate regions" after comments made by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. "I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump said in a social media post. He added that he ordered the submarines as, "Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances." Medvedev, who currently serves as the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, had written in a post on Telegram, "As for the talk about the 'dead economies' of India and Russia, and 'entering dangerous territory' - maybe he should recall his favorite movies about 'the walking dead,' and also remember how dangerous the so-called 'Dead Hand,' which doesn't even exist, could be." The 'Dead Hand', also known as Perimeter is a Cold-War era automatic or semi-automatic nuclear weapons control system, that could launch a nuclear counterstrike even if the country's leadership had been wiped out. Medvedev had responded to Trump's post where he hit out at India and Russia and said that he does not care how the two countries deal with each other, and that they "can take their dead economies down together". Adding to the blow, he had also personally targeted Medvedev, "Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let's keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he's still President, to watch his words. He's entering very dangerous territory." Moreover, Trump on Tuesday had warned Russia that it had "10 days from today" to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face tariffs, along with countries that buy its oil, reducing the ceasefire deadline drastically from his original 50 days. Moscow, which has set out its own terms for peace in Ukraine, has shown no sign that it will comply with Trump's deadline. Medvedev has emerged as one of the Kremlin's most outspoken anti-Western hawks since Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in 2022. Kremlin critics deride him as an irresponsible loose cannon, though some Western diplomats say his statements illustrate the thinking in senior Kremlin policy-making circles.
