Donald Trump ha ordenado el reposicionamiento de dos submarinos nucleares estadounidenses a "regiones apropiadas" en relación con Rusia, achacándolo a un acalorado intercambio con Dmitri Medvédev, jefe militar y ex presidente de Moscú.

Moscow

President Trump has ordered the repositioning of U.S. nuclear submarines in response to an escalating war of words with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The exchange began after Trump issued an ultimatum to Russia, which Medvedev described as a step towards war, referencing the Soviet-era 'dead hand switch' mechanism.

Despite the symbolic nature of the submarine movement, tensions remain high as Russia and Belarus plan to deploy ballistic missiles near NATO borders. Meanwhile, fighting continues between Russia and Ukraine, with recent drone attacks resulting in casualties. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, with U.S. envoy Steve Whitkoff expected in Moscow for potential peace talks.

Trump envía submarinos nucleares hacia Rusia

Bueno, esto es lo que una guerra de palabras puede escalar a si una de esas personas en ese intercambio tiene acceso a submarinos nucleares. Se trata de una guerra de palabras que lleva más de unos días en una plataforma social ahora. Esencialmente comenzó con Dmitry Medvedev respondiendo al ultimátum de Trump de mover la meta de 50 días a 10 días. Hasta ahora, no ha habido ninguna respuesta oficial de Vladimir Putin o de las autoridades rusas. ministerio de asuntos exteriores sobre lo que ellos ven como ultimátum, que expira el 8 de agosto. o el 10, dependiendo de si son 10 o 12 días, según el presidente estadounidense. Y Dmitry Medvedev, que fue el ex presidente de Rusia, alguien que realmente firmó el tratado que existe entre estos dos países, el tratado nuclear, New START, fue en realidad firmado bajo su presidencia, ahora ha cambiado de enfoque. Desde que perdió la presidencia, se ha convertido en el adjunto del Consejo de Seguridad Nacional y ha sido muy duro con todo lo que está pasando con los Estados Unidos. En su último tuit a Trump, calificó este ultimátum como un paso hacia la guerra e indicó hacia un mecanismo de la era soviética llamado el interruptor de mano muerta. Y en respuesta, el presidente Trump ha reposicionado ahora estos submarinos. De nuevo, todo esto es simbolismo. Hay mucho que necesita ser leído entre líneas en lugar de lo que está sucediendo. Estos submarinos tienen la capacidad de golpear a Rusia, incluso si el presidente de EE.UU. no los reposicionara. Y luego está sucediendo bajo el paraguas de ayer mismo, cuando Vladimir Putin se reunió con el presidente bielorruso y por primera vez indicó que va a seguir adelante y para finales de año poner misiles balísticos junto a la frontera con la OTAN y Europa Unión en la frontera con Polonia, porque Bielorrusia va a recibir estos misiles, que al parecer no tienen mecanismo de intercepción. Así que todo lo que se dice sobre rebajar las tensiones en realidad no está ocurriendo. Y las cosas parecen ir a más. Y así que creo que ya sé la respuesta a esto, basado en lo que acabas de decir, pero no estamos viendo o escuchando. No hay nada que sugiera que hay algún movimiento hacia un alto el fuego entre Ucrania y Rusia en este momento. Absolutamente. Y mientras esta guerra de palabras se intercambia en las redes sociales y en Internet, hay una lucha real, que sigue teniendo lugar sobre el terreno. En las últimas 24 horas, hemos oído que múltiples aviones no tripulados han sido interceptados en los cielos rusos, disparados desde drones, según oficiales locales. Hay 112 vehículos aéreos no tripulados, vehículos aéreos no tripulados de ala fija, es decir, drones más grandes, que fueron interceptados y derribados. Algunos de ellos realmente hicieron contacto. Al menos dos personas han muerto en Rostov y Pezen. Esto demuestra que aunque ha habido algunos indicios de que estos países podrían avanzar hacia un alto el fuego o un plan para conseguirlo, parece que la situación sobre el terreno sigue siendo la misma, ambas partes intercambiando disparos. Hace 48 horas, los ucranianos informaron de cientos de aviones no tripulados haciendo contacto con varios lugares. El Ministerio de Defensa ruso no confirmó ningún ataque contra Kiev, pero sí que ha atacado emplazamientos militares ucranianos varias veces en la última semana. Así que a medida que las tensiones aumentan, parece que la diplomacia será una posible salida. Y estamos esperando que el enviado especial de EE.UU. a Oriente Medio, alguien que es muy cercano al presidente Trump, Steve Whitkoff, se le espera pronto en Moscú. Es el mismo Steve Whitkoff que vimos ayer en Gaza, que estuvo hoy en Tel Aviv. Pero tienes razón al señalar que también está oficialmente en medio de una potencial paz entre Rusia y Ucrania. Osama bin Javad, informando desde Moscú, muchas gracias.
