Retired General Jack Keane, a senior strategic analyst for Fox News, has weighed in on the strategic implications of President Donald Trump’s recent military maneuvers near Russian territory. During an appearance on ‘America’s Newsroom,’ Keane addressed allegations that Trump’s deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russia amounted to a form of psychological warfare.
Keane, who has a long history of military service and has spoken frequently on national security issues, argued that such actions, while provocative, do not align with the definition of psychological warfare, which typically involves non-physical tactics to influence an adversary’s mindset. He pointed out that the deployment of military assets, including submarines, is a more direct form of deterrence and is often used to signal strength and resolve.
Keane contrasted Trump’s approach with that of former President Joe Biden, suggesting that the former’s strategy is more direct and assertive, while the latter’s methods may have been perceived as more diplomatic. This contrast has sparked discussions within both political and military circles about the effectiveness of different approaches to dealing with potential adversaries in the modern geopolitical landscape.
