Donald Trump said on Monday that the US should put pressure on Putin by sending nuclear submarines to the Russian coast.

During an appearance on Fox Business, Trump said that he listened to him use the n-word and that he used the nuclear word during his talks with Putin.

We say that he is a nuclear power, but we are a greater nuclear power. He told Stuart Varney that we have the most powerful machines ever built.

If you mention nuclear one more time, we will send nuclear subs over and you will be coasting back and forth, Trump suggested. You cannot let these people die.

The US has a fleet of 14 Ohio-class ballistic-missile submarines that are specifically designed for stealth and the delivery of nuclear warheads.

On February 27, Putin placed Russia's nuclear deterrent forces on high alert in response to what he said were illegitimate Western sanctions.

The retired lieutenant general suggested that the US deploy all of its missile submarines to see if Putin was in charge.

The US approach of avoiding direct military intervention in the Ukraine crisis appears to be at odds with Trump's latest proposition. President Joe Biden has ruled out maintaining a no-fly zone over Ukraine in order to prevent a head-to-head clash with Russian forces.

The US should put Chinese flags on its fighter jets to "bomb the shit out of Russia", according to a proposal by Donald Trump.
