All hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump's bluff was called in front of the entire world by Putin. And perhaps it wasn't just his bluff being called. Perhaps it was just exposing Donald Trump yet again, being a Putin bootlicker during the war against Iran and in all matters relating to foreign policy. So Donald Trump was given a choice as Russia was sending its ships over to Cuba loaded with crude oil to help Cuba. Donald Trump in his regime claimed they had a blockade around Cuba and that anyone who would deliver aid or crude oil or material assistance to Cuba

3:12would face massive tariffs or would be turned away by the U.S. blockade around Cuba. Donald Trump threatened Mexico and other countries with severe sanctions if they dare help Cuba. But then came Vladimir Putin after the Trump regime removed sanctions against Russian oil during the war against Iran as Russia provides material assistance to Iran in terms of weapons and logistics to kill hunt and destroy American military members as well as American military assets. Donald Trump just says, Hey Vladimir Putin, we will remove all sanctions against your Russian oil and allow you to make billions of dollars during the war as a reward for targeting United States soldiers and military assets. Oh, and by the way, Vladimir Putin, you want to send your senior leadership from the Russian Duma, basically their Senate, to visit the United States

4:16Congress and meet with MAGA Republican Congress members and our State Department send them our way. The Russian Duma leaders showed up at the end of last week and then Vladimir Putin sent ships filled with crude oil to go to Cuba and Donald Trump's like, blockade? What blockade? My barely knew a blockade and Vladimir Putin was able to bring the crude oil and other material assistance to Cuba, essentially defeating the entire purpose of everything that Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have been saying for some time. Now look, the intentional suffering and starvation of Cuba in my opinion is a crime against humanity, humanity. It's a horrible thing and I think that the Trump strategy in general with this blockade was horrific and that's not the way you go about things and then nothing the way Donald Trump is how you go about things and it was part of another war that Donald Trump wanted to launch against another nation this time Cuba. But being so

5:22utterly weak and obsequious to Russia and allowing Russia to come in and now firmly planting the Russian flag in Cuba in such a power move that makes the United States look so weak, it is utterly despicable. So you just have to add up all of these facts and President Zelensky of Ukraine put out a message. I'll read a little bit later in this video over the weekend where he was like the behavior by entities that remove sanctions against a nation that is then targeting your nation and killing your troops and destroying your military assets. That's pretty strange behavior is what Zelensky said and strange was kind of codeword in my opinion for saying kind of traitorous and treasonous behavior. Again, I was giving an opinion protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Let me just bring some facts and receipts for us now. So back on January 30th, 2026,

6:23Donald Trump and the White House posted the following. Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency and establishing a process to impose tariffs on goods for countries that sell or otherwise provide oil to Cuba. Trump signs executive order to address threats by Cuba. Threats by Cuba. That's what Trump called it January 30th, 2026 as why it read explains in January Trump signed executive order 14380 placing harsh tariffs on any country caught directly or indirectly supplying oil to Cuba. In February, when a Greek flag tanker tried to bring 80,000 barrels from Colombia to Cuba, the US Coast Guard intercepted it, forcing the ship to sail to the Dominican Republic. In March, when the US sought to stabilize oil prices after starting a war with Iran, OFAC, that's the department within the Treasury responsible for lifting sanctions or imposing sanctions,

7:31issued waivers for Russian crude. As Russian tankers approached the island, the US placed Cuba on a tiny list of countries it said were still not allowed to buy Russian oil. Two ships which were in route changed course purportedly under pressure, but then something happened where the ships were allowed in and we'll go and talk about what went down. So what we learned yesterday, US to allow Russian oil tanker to reach Cuba, breaking the blockade. The tanker full of crude oil will reach its expected destination by Tuesday, providing a lifeline to the island amid intense US pressure. The United States Coast Guard is allowing a Russian tanker full of crude oil to reach Cuba, delivering a critical supply of energy to the island nation after months of an effective oil blockade by the Trump regime, according to US officials briefed on the matter. The New York Times writes

8:32the tanker, which is carrying an estimated 730,000 barrels of oil, is owned by the Russian government, was less than 15 miles from Cuban territorial waters on Sunday afternoon, according to marine traffic, a ship data provider. At its speed of 12 knots, the ship was expected to enter Cuban waters by Sunday evening. The tanker could reach its expected destination, a mantanzas, Cuba by Tuesday. The Russian ship's arrival would shift the trajectory of a rapidly accelerating crisis in Cuba, buying the island nation at least a few weeks before its fuel reserves run out. Analysts said it would also reduce pressure on the Cuban government facing looming economic collapse and escalating threats from Washington and show that at least for now an island can still depend on its longtime ally Russia. The Trump regime had been enforcing what amounted to an oil blockade around Cuba since January, threatening nations that had been sending fuel to the country ended one case escorting a tanker headed toward Cuba away from the island. The Coast Guard has two

9:38cutters in the region that could have attempted to intercept the Russian tanker, yet the Trump regime did not order those vessels to act according to a US official briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operations, barring orders instructing it otherwise, the Coast Guard planned to let the tanker reach Cuba as of Sunday afternoon. The official said it was unclear why the White House did not issue orders to block the tanker or whether it would allow future Russian oil shipments to reach the island. The decision avoids a potential thorny confrontation with Russia just off the coast of Florida. The Coast Guard referred questions to the White House, which did not respond to a request for comment. Russian and Cuban officials also did not respond. The oil blockade has been choking Cuba, leading to daily blackouts, severe gas shortages, soaring prices, and deteriorating medical care. The policy has attracted international criticism, including from the UN, that the United States is causing a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Also, the foreign minister of Cuba said in response to Donald Trump's threats

10:45that there could be an invasion of Cuba soon. Cuba responded by saying we are prepared militarily in order to be able to fight the U.S. and we are seeing what is happening in Iran and we are ready to go. Here is the thing. My own view that this blockade was a crime against humanity. I am not supportive of the blockade. I think it is not the right way to approach anything that is going on in Cuba. We can have very strong feelings about the successors to the Castro regime and what they have done to the Cuban people. We can listen to strongly what the Cuban people here in the United States are saying, but we should always have a foreign policy that is rooted in still humanity and figuring out through diplomacy the right types of approaches. That is my overall view of things. I am understanding it, but that is my general view of things. But if you are going to do a blockade and you are going to say no one can get in and we are

11:46blocking this and this is showing the U.S. strength and then Russia sends its two ships and then another ship and says we are going to go and deliver this oil and then the U.S. is like okay, well we are not going to do anything. You can come on in and you can then defeat the entire purpose of everything we have been saying to every other nation. We have attacked this nation, that nation. Donald Trump said all these nations that wanted to help will go after you. It is like declaring war. Putin goes, I am heading over to Cuba and Donald is like, welcome, welcome to Cuba right off the shore of Florida. Why don't you come in? Now, if you also don't believe that Vladimir Putin is also helping give Cuba weapons right now in my opinion, you are very naive. You don't think that they are bringing Shahid drones and other weapons. How do we know? How do we not know? At the end of the day, what Trump did there was again extra extra week. I mean, as Jose Diaz Basenio explains, two months after signing an executive order threatening Mexico and

12:51all these countries with tariffs, if they sent oil to Cuba, Trump says he's got no problem now at all with Russia doing so. Come on in Russia. Happy to do it. So Donald Trump was a board Air Force one and he was asked, there is a report that the U.S. is going to let a Russian oil tanker go to Cuba and Trump's like, yeah, what's wrong with that? If a country wants to send some oil into Cuba, let them send some oil into Cuba. Watch what Donald Trump says here because Russia applied the most basic pressure to him of all. Russia is, but all right, we're going there. Donald's like, come on in. Come on in, Putin. We're going to remove the sanctions against you for your oil. Let you make billions of dollars a day. Help arm around, give Iran logistics to attack the U.S. I mean, destroy our most valuable crown jewels in the Air Force bases and military bases in the Middle East. The United States has had to evacuate 13 of its top military bases in the Middle East because the effectiveness of Iranian FPV drone, Shahi drones, ballistic missiles that are being

13:55materially assisted by Russia. Russia keeps sending stuff through the Caspian Sea and Caspian Sea and otherwise and Trump's like, yeah, cool. They want a party right off the coast of Florida. Let them in. Let them in. Here, let's play this clip of Donald Trump and Air Force one. There's a report that the U.S. is going to let a Russian oil tanker go to Cuba. Is that true? We have a tanker out there. We don't mind having somebody get a boatload because they need to survive. It wouldn't bother. That report is true as far as you know. Well, I would say I told them if a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem with it. Do you worry that that helps? Whether it's Russia or not, what? Do you worry that that helps? Not if you're going to know. That's not helping. He loses one boatload of oil. That's all it is. It's fine. If he wants to do that and if other countries want to do it, it doesn't bother me much. It's not going to have an impact. Cuba's finished. They have a bad regime. They have very bad and corrupt leadership and whether or not they get a boat or a oil, it's not going to matter. I prefer letting

14:57it in whether it's Russia or anybody else because the people need heat and cooling and all of the other things that you need to go ahead.

Today is March 30th. Let me go back to March 17th, 2026, where Marco Rubio said the following about Cuba,

17:07March 17th, 2026. So basically two weeks ago, Rubio goes, yeah, the embargo was tied to political change. The embargo was codified in an executive order. Listen to what he said then, play this clip. Secretary Rubio, do you support, and I know this is up to Congress, but do you support easing the Cuban trade embargo if you get more cooperation from that? Well, I'm not going to discuss what we would talk about or not. It's a facet to say that the embargo is tied to political change on the island. The law, it's been the embargo is codified. The bottom line is, the economy doesn't work. It's a non-functional economy. It's an economy that has survived. For 40, that revolution, it's not even a revolution. That thing they have has survived on subsidies from the Soviet Union and now from Venezuela. They don't get subsidies anymore. So they're in a lot of trouble. And the people in charge, they don't know how to fix it. So they have to get new people in charge. That's what I said. And the relationship we have with Venezuela has been... Then we'll rewind a little bit more. I do sound effects now on these shows. To February 16, 2026, when Donald Trump says, there's an embargo. No oil. There's no

18:13anything in a reporter's like so. If a deal isn't made, would you consider an operation like the one in Venezuela? Trump's like, I ain't going to answer that. Here, play this clip. Right now, a failed nation. They don't even have jet fuel to get for airplanes to take off. They're clogging up their runway. We're talking to the blue people right now. And Marco Rubio talking to the people right now. And they should absolutely make a deal. Because it's a humanitarian threat. And we have a lot of great Cuban Americans that they're going to be very happy with. They're going to be able to go back and say hello to their relatives and do things that they should have been allowed to do for a long time. I'm very interested in the people that are here that were treated so badly by Castro and the Cuban authorities. They have been treated horribly. So we'll see how it all turns out. But Cuba and us, we are talking. In the meantime, there's an embargo. There's no oil. There's no money. There's no anything.

19:17If a deal isn't made, would you consider an operation like the one in Venezuela? I don't want to answer that. Why would I answer that? If I had my words, it wouldn't be a very tough operation, as you can figure. But I don't think that'll be necessary. Well, now this tanker is carrying about 730,000 barrels of crude oil, bringing it over to Cuba right now. And by the way, the Trump regime also removed sanctions for Iranian oil, rewarding Iran. And I know that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, I'm Scott Bessent, everybody says we're doing jujitsu. We're doing jujitsu on Iran. Well, Iran is now earning nearly twice as much from oil sales each day as it did before the American and Israeli bombs started falling on February 28th. And they also control the straight of her moves while they're out there posting means of themselves killing American soldiers. They are getting rewarded. Russia is getting rewarded. And by the way, the

20:21the president of Iran is like the message of the president and the people of Russia are a source of encouragement for us on these historic days. Today, thanks to the resistance of the Iranian people, past relations in the region have been transformed and new bonds are being formed. The security of East Asia will henceforth be ensured by the countries of the region. On behalf of the people of Iran, I think the government and the people of Russia, they're just saying it. They're just saying Russia's helping us. I mean, President Zelensky of Ukraine has been showing the US the images that were being used by Russia to target the Saudi Arabian Air Force base and to target all the other American military assets. And Zelensky's like, look, when I get my briefings here in Ukraine, we see that Russia is conducting surveillance on all of these American assets. We've been trying to show Trump exactly what the Russians are looking at because if they're conducting surveillance,

21:24they then pass that on to Iran and Iran and its proxy groups attack those targets. Everyone knows, Zelensky says, the repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes with Russia helping Iran. How can sanctions be eased if this is what the Russians are doing? There must be pressure on the aggressor. Russia is the aggressor. Iran is working with Russia right now. Lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. It looks strange. Zelensky says sanctions are being lifted while the aggressor is providing intelligence to strike facilities, including those of the countries, the United States, that are discussing or who have already lifted the sanctions against Russia. I mean, that's what Zelensky is saying, and he's right. I mean, and again, one of the other points I wanted to talk about is the Russian Duma leaders. They are Senate. They were invited by Trump. They were walking around

22:28our damn Capitol building last Thursday and Friday. There's a video of them getting a tour by Maga Republican Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna. Watch her give these Russian Duma members a tour. They took photos together and bragged about it. I mean, you can literally see the top Duma members with the Maga Republican Congress members right here. You've got Anna Polina Luna, you've got Andy Ogles, you've got Eli Crane. I mean, look at all these Republican Congress members and then they met with the State Department and they said, we've got massive concessions, massive concessions. And by the way, on Friday, freaking Friday. Okay. It was a movie Freaky Friday on this past Friday. When Donald Trump was giving that weirdo speech at that Miami financial conference, he kept on saying, Cuba's next. I'm going after Cuba. Cuba's next. And then Russia's like, okay, Donald? Sure, Donald. Watch what Donald Trump said here. Cuba's next. Watch what he says here, play

23:31this clip. Thanks. You wouldn't have to use it. I built this great military. I said you'll never have to use it, but sometimes you have to use it. And Cuba's next, by the way, but pretend I didn't say that. Please pretend I did. Please, please, please media, please disregard that statement. Thank you very much. And then Russia's like, whatever. And by the way, Cuba's deputy foreign minister says the country is preparing for the possibility of military aggression. And you better believe that Russia's helping them. By the way, Russia's probably sending its special forces into Cuba right now to help train the Cubans and show the teachings of what's going on in Iran. I don't have to even see what our intelligence is. I know that's happening. It's common sense that that's what's taking place. And now that's right off the coast of Florida. I mean, this is not being reported really anywhere with the kind of moral clarity of what Zelensky is saying, which is Trump has lifted the sanctions

24:31on Russia, while Russia helps Iran kill Americans and destroy American military bases. And the Russians are in Washington DC meeting with the State Department and Republican Congress members when the Russians wanted to go to Cuba, while Donald Trump was acting all tough and strong and saying, nobody beats our blockade. Putin's like, hey, I'm going to just go bypass your blockade. I'm like, okay, oh, sounds good. Again, I don't get how anybody at all can look at this and say, oh, that's Donald Trump, you know, he's strong. Unless you love Putin, like at the end of the day, if you're a big Putin fan or you generally root against the United States, like that's the only way you can possibly be applauding what Trump is doing because it's the most weakened pathetic thing ever. And I'm just speaking objectively, finally, my glasses are going everywhere. Final, final point, I want to make. I know I showed you a video of March 17th and then February and then we went back. I'll show you a video from Marco Rubio. When was this in the past 48 hours? When Marco Rubio is

25:33Ryan Grim says, the number of obvious lies in this from Rubio suggests he's feeling actual pressure. This was before it was announced that Trump was going to let the Russians get into Cuba. And Marco Rubio claims Cuba wants oil for free and the US isn't blocking it. And that that's really the issue. That the whole issue here is that Cuba wants free oil. That there's really no blockade at all. And that if anybody wanted to give free oil, they could do it. It's just Cuba doesn't want to pay for it. So nobody wants to deliver the oil for free. So that's what Rubio said right before Donald Trump gave the thumbs up to Putin to bring the oil in. Doesn't that make all the sense in the world? That's why I showed you the other clip of Rubio first when he was in the White House like, yeah, we're doing an embargo. We're going to be really strong. These people just look so damn weakened pathetic, right? We can pathetic. They're losers. All of them are freaking losers. They're making the whole United States look like the biggest losers like Trump loser companies that go bankrupt

26:38like in his whole life of being a freaking loser surrounded by losers. Isn't that what he said the other day? I like to hang out around losers because that makes me feel better. Yeah, because you're a loser. And all these world leaders know how weak you are, how easy you are to break when someone stands up to you. It's pathetic. Anyway, play this clip of Rubio about it. Okay. Everybody talks about these blackout. Humans were having blackouts all the last year, all the year before. There isn't a naval blockade surrounding fuel. The reason why Cuba doesn't have oil and fuel is because they want it for free. And people don't give away oil and fuel for free on a regular basis unless it was the Soviet Union subsidizing or material subsidizing it, they just don't do it. They may get a shipment here or there now and then someone, but not enough to sustain their country. Okay, so the reason why they're having blackout is because they have equipment from the 1950s and 60s that they never maintained or kept up. There you have it, folks. We appreciate you as always.
