"Has His Reasons": Shashi Tharoor On Rahul Gandhi's "Dead Economy" Remark
Mumbai: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday refused to comment on party leader Rahul Gandhi's endorsing US President Donald Trump's 'dead economy' remark about India and said the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha may have had his "own reasons" for saying so. The remarks came after Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact. Speaking to the mediapersons, Tharoor said, "I don't want to comment on what my party leader has said. He has his reasons for saying so. My concern is that our relationship with the US, as a strategic and economic partnership, is important for us. We are exporting around 90 billion worth of goods to America. We can't be in a position to lose that or have it diminish significantly." "We must wish our negotiators strength to get a fair deal for India. We should also be talking to other regions for exporting our goods. Then we could make up for some of what we might lose in the US. We have to support our negotiators," he added. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact. Speaking to reporters, Rahul Gandhi said that the whole world knows the Indian economy is "dead" except for the Prime Minister and Finance Minister. "Yes, he is right. Everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact. The entire world knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. BJP has finished the economy to help Adani," Rahul Gandhi said. On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump made a shocking statement on his social media platform Truth Social after the announcement of 25 percent tariffs against India and threatened an additional "penalty" for importing Russian oil.

Ohio vs Akula: US to send its powerful submarine to Russia, will it start nuclear war? will Putin… Washington, DC: Following the comments of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, United States President Donald Trump has directed two nuclear submarines to position themselves in the 'appropriate region.' He took to Truth Social and wrote, '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.' What Exactly Did Dmitry Medvedev Say? Currently serving as the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev shared a post on Telegram, warning the US President about the 'Dead Hand'. 'As for the talk about the 'dead economies' of India and Russia, and 'entering dangerous territory' – maybe he should recall his favorite movies about 'the walking dead,' and also remember how dangerous the so-called 'Dead Hand,' which doesn't even exist, could be,' he wrote in the post. Russian MP's Reply To Trump However, the Kremlin has not reacted to Trump's threat but a senior MP named Viktor Vodolatsky has issued a warning to the US President that Russia has more nuclear subs to deal with US submarines coming to his country. 'The number of Russian nuclear submarines in the world's oceans is much more than the US submarines and the areas to which US President Donald Trump has ordered to send submarines have been under their control for a long time,' he said. The aggressive statements given by the top leadership of both countries ignited the possibility of a war under the oceans. Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Submarine America has Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) which are known for their nuclear weapons capability and stealth capability. The Navy has 14 nuclear submarines, loaded with long-range Trident II D5 missiles, 20 each. These missiles are capable of destroying a large area. US's Fast Attack Submarines Apart from SSBN, the US has three types of nuclear-powered attack submarines—Virginia-class, Seawolf-class and Los Angeles-class. These subs are loaded with deadly Tomahawk missiles, Harpoon missiles and MK-48 torpedoes, capable of destroying any ship and submarine. These attack submarines are designed to search for and destroy enemy ships. The US also has 24 Virginia-class SSNs and three Seawolf-class submarines. Russia's Submarine Fleet, The Largest In The World It is to be noted that Russia has one of the largest submarine fleets in the world. The country has a total of 64 powerful subs. These subs include 14 SSBNs, Borei-class and Delta IV-class. 8 Borei-class SSBNs, which are equipped with 16 Bulava SLBMs and six 533 mm torpedo launchers. These submarines are capable of firing rockets and under sea mines, making them more dangerous than other subs. The Russian Navy also has 4 Yasen-class nuclear attack submarines. These subs are small in size so that they can attack with great speed. Russia also has 5 Akula class submarines, which are known for their super-destructive powers.
