Russian Naval Vessels Arrive in Cuba for Military Drills

Four Russian naval vessels, including a nuclear-powered submarine and a frigate, arrived in Cuba for military drills, viewed as a show of force amid tensions with the West over Ukraine. US officials downplayed the visit, stating it poses no threat. Russia's defense ministry highlighted advanced weapons on the vessels, such as hypersonic missiles. Cuba's foreign ministry clarified that the vessels carry no nuclear arms and the visit is not a threat. The event reflects Russia's show of strength during Biden's presidency and is seen as a result of weak US leadership. The situation evokes memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s, instilling fear and concern, especially considering the proximity of Cuba to the US. The speaker criticizes both Trump and Biden for perceived weak leadership amidst various global conflicts, highlighting the unsettling nature of current events.
