Talk of mounting nuclear readiness towards Russia could overshadow more trifling domestic matters, like the Epstein scandal, for instance.

P resident Donald Trump said on Friday he's ordered two nuclear submarines to move in the "appropriate regions" in response to what he called "highly provocative statements" from the deputy chair of Russia's security council, Dmitry Medvedev.

The move follows comments by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev reminding President Donald Trump that Moscow possesses nuclear strike capabilities.
