Anyone else think of Trashcan Man in Stephen King's "The Stand" when they first saw this image above?

Wagging the dog is actually an old tactic, and I don't think it always works. lol. 
Trump did escalate rhetoric by publicly threatening to move U.S. nuclear submarines within range of Russia, but he did so in response to provocative comments by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, not "over nothing."1357 There is evidence that this escalation and related foreign policy posturing took place during a week when Trump was under significant negative scrutiny due to the Epstein scandal and other issues, and multiple analyses suggest the crisis provided a valuable distraction from these controversies2468.
Key facts and analysis:
- Trump announced on social media that he had "ordered two nuclear submarines to be stationed" so as to deter Russian threats, referencing provocative online statements by Medvedev about nuclear escalation and Soviet-era doomsday systems1357.
- It is unclear whether any actual military movements occurred, as details about nuclear submarine deployments are highly classified and there is skepticism among analysts about whether the action went beyond rhetoric23.
- Medvedev, while a former Russian president, is now mostly known as an internet provocateur, and his threats are not considered official Kremlin policy27.
- Multiple reputable sources note that Trump’s threat coincided with negative news coverage, including the Epstein scandal, major economic setbacks, and declining approval ratings. Analysts say Trump's tendency to "flood the zone" with attention-grabbing announcements during damaging news cycles is a long-standing tactic, and this situation followed that familiar pattern246.
- There is journalistic consensus that Trump's public nuclear saber-rattling—unusual for an American president—was a highly effective way to shift media focus from the Epstein controversy to an international crisis, even if the substance of the threat was questionable24.
- Official messaging from the White House has become highly controlled regarding Epstein, with escalating efforts to avoid questions on the topic68.
Summary:
Trump did not threaten war with Russia "over nothing"—he cited Medvedev's provocative nuclear comments as the immediate rationale1357. However, the timing and nature of the threats, as well as the consensus among analysts and journalists, make clear that this escalation also served as a distraction from the ongoing Epstein scandal and other political troubles2468. There is no direct evidence that the war threat was fabricated entirely for distraction, but the overlap with damaging news coverage and Trump's historical use of such tactics strongly support the interpretation that creating a foreign policy crisis was at least partially intended to divert attention.

Ah, Democrats are the most dishonest, habitual liars on the planet. First Dems claimed Trump was going to start WWIII with North Korea. Then spun 180 and attacked Trump for talking peace with North Korea. Called Trump a racist for blocking travel from China at the start of Covid, then spun 180 and attacked Trump for not stopping travel from China at the start of Covid. With a straight face. While the fake news blasted it out there 24/7.
I have never even heard of a putrid group of people as nasty as Democrats.
