Taco Donnie orders nuclear submarines moved near Russia after 'foolish and inflammatory statements' from Medvedev

Donald Trump has said he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in regions near Russia in response to threats from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.

Trump said in a post on Truth Social:

Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, 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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

1. Did he send the coordinates to anyone? (no Putin in particular) and
2. Do they have a guest cabin on board in case someone needs a ride out of Russia?

That is all.
