Russian threat of war with US

 Federalist Wire:

...

On Friday, August 1, 2025, President Donald Trump announced he ordered two nuclear submarines repositioned closer to Russia in response to “highly provocative statements” by Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and current deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council.

In a Truth Social post, Trump stated, “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. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.”

The move underscores Trump’s decisive leadership in addressing Russian rhetoric, reinforcing America’s strength and readiness to protect national interests amid escalating tensions over Ukraine.

Medvedev’s Taunts Prompt Trump’s Response

Medvedev’s provocative X post taunted Trump’s recent ultimatum for Russia to end its war in Ukraine by August 8 or face secondary sanctions, warning:

“Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don’t go down the Sleepy Joe road!” Known for his aggressive social media presence,

Medvedev, who served as Russia’s president from 2008 to 2012 under Vladimir Putin’s influence, has repeatedly criticized Trump.

On July 15, he mocked Trump’s ultimatum, claiming, “Russia didn’t care,” and in June, he derided Trump’s directive to target Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Trump’s submarine deployment signals a calculated response to Medvedev’s belligerence, showcasing his administration’s resolve to counter threats while maintaining pressure on Russia to de-escalate in Ukraine.
...

The current Russian government acts like it wants to annex Ukraine.  That would be a very dangerous move, which has already led to conflict between the two and might eventually involve conflict with NATO forces, including the US.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
