Russian media responded indifferently to Trump's announcement on moving nuclear submarines closer to Russia

Donald Trump has announced that he has ordered the appropriation of nuclear submarines from Russia in response to threats by Dmitry Medvedev. But the reaction from Russia has been one of indifference, with military comments suggesting Trump's statements are meaningless. No official reaction has come from the Kremlin, indicating a possible underestimation of the situation. The BBC's Rosenberg suggests that Trump was reacting personally to Medvedev's provocations, and that the submarine deployment could be a strategy of intimidation ahead of negotiations.
