Do you know where "appropriate regions" are?

I remember back when Trump got caught with all those classified docs there was a story about him showing off some about submarines to a rich Australian dude. There was a comment about how everyone in the navy knows that you do not talk about subs. Everything about them is top secret, and if it were anyone else there would be very severe consequences.

Yeah. Also, happy cake day!

IMHO what Trump writes about is just business as usual. Standard posturing (both literally and figuratively) that is happening anyhow all the time on all sides. Anyhow, all it says is "appropriate positions", so I counter: shouldn't military submarines always be in "appropriate positions"?

Normally you wouldn't ~~tweet~~ ~~truth~~ lie about something like that at all. My guess is one of his PR people thought a little fearmongering might distract from other issues...

What should be a secret? That nuclear (propulsion or arms?) submarines are in appropriate regions? I should hope that that is always the case.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

I wonder if that means he ordered them to be in the same places they were already planning to be...

Considering this, I would normally treat anything said about secret weapons a bluff. But given who's talking, I've no way to tell if it's stupidity instead
