In this episode of Cuban Events Daily, I discuss the latest on the Ukraine crisis and how we can all learn from it. I also talk about the latest in the War in Ukraine and why we should all be concerned about it.
00:00:00.000Well, I think the events of the last week have gotten us all to understand the importance of returning our manufacturing base and our domestic production, our Made in America focus, bringing it back to the United States, building up our own industry, building up our own resources.
00:00:15.320Now, did you know that 85% of the grass-fed beef that you go and you see out at the stores or you get in line, it's important. You're actually paying premiums for low quality foreign meat when you go and do that. Well, I have a solution for you when it comes to that. And that solution, our sponsor is Good Ranchers.

00:01:42.080Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Cuban Events Daily, powered by Turning Point USA.
00:01:45.940Say, you know, I think I forgot to mention this yesterday, but we're actually down here.
00:01:49.540We're reporting live and broadcasting from CPAC down in Orlando, Florida.
00:01:53.860We had pre-scheduled to be here. We didn't know that a war was going to be breaking out, obviously.
00:01:57.860But as they say, may you live in interesting times. And we certainly do live in interesting times.
00:02:03.500So, here we are at CPAC reporting on the war in Ukraine.
00:02:09.100Russia launched this war against Ukraine as NATO was moving in.
00:02:13.480didn't want Ukraine to join NATO, didn't want those forces, didn't want the missiles, the javelins, the arming of the army, saw it as a threat.
00:02:21.360Now we have the response. Now we have Putin's response.
00:02:25.520It wasn't diplomatic, it wasn't negotiations, it wasn't talks.
00:03:08.940There's one video going around, supposedly, of a dogfight between a Ukrainian fighter and a Russian fighter over Kiev.
00:03:14.900Turns out that video actually comes from a video game.
00:03:18.640And that was something that someone created and then made to look as if it was from the actual fighting.
00:03:22.900So, understand, because our computer graphics are so good right now, you don't quite know if what you're seeing is something that actually happened or something that someone created.
00:03:33.740A good rule of thumb that I use, though, is if you're seeing something when it comes to multiple, if there's multiple angles, if there's multiple videos of one incident, that does add to the credibility of it.
00:03:44.200But just keep that in mind, you know, think before you share.
00:03:47.320I understand that it's very emotional.
00:03:49.200And here it is, you are going to see brutality come out of this.
00:03:54.700Make no mistake, that brutality is on the hands of Vladimir Putin and the Russians who instigated this conflict.
00:04:03.560But at the same time, we're not going to lie about the people who brought us here.
00:04:09.340We're not going to lie about the involvement of the Biden family.
00:04:12.180We're not going to lie about the involvement of the Clinton family and the Clinton Foundation.
00:04:15.940We're not going to lie about the war mongers and the neoliberal, neoconservative elites in this country, in the United States, that have sought to expand America's military alliance and expand America's military footprint around the world.
00:04:51.820Sure, there are other countries in the world that U.S. did business with, but the U.S. was essentially, and I do mean was, essentially, a global hegemony.
00:05:20.240And our economic ties to other countries who are not our friends.
00:05:27.020Like, what we did with outsourcing our entire manufacturing base, our entire manufacturing infrastructure to China and other parts of the world is now coming back to bite us.
00:05:40.080Do you now understand why your manufacturing base is a national security concern?
00:05:51.760I'm not going to beat that point home.
00:05:53.620If it's a pandemic where we couldn't make our own pharmaceuticals and make our own PPE after we're now seeing warfare, when our steel industry, our aluminum, is dependent on other countries.
00:06:05.020And by the way, fossil fuels, the idea that we have not pursued nuclear power, but we have pursued these green energy, renewables, solar power, it was always a fantasy.
00:06:20.440And because we've left the world reliant on fossil fuels, but at the same time, cut down our own fossil fuel production here in the United States, domestically, Alaska, offshore, our fracking.
00:06:32.280Now that's coming back to bite us because we've become reliant on countries like OPEC.
00:07:22.900And when people were talking, the United States military and the United States government, about putting long-range missiles or even short-range missiles in Ukraine, the leaders of Moscow and the leaders of the Kremlin viewed that as a threat.
00:08:50.520Do you really want to draw the United States and all of our people and all of our military, as weakened as it's become, as soft as it's become, our finances, as bad as they've become, our debt, as out of control as it's become.
00:09:02.240You want to draw that into a direct war with Russia?
00:09:06.240This was the whole point of the Cold War, that we don't get into direct war because of something called mutually assured destruction.
00:09:13.280And Vladimir Putin was very clear about that when he announced this operation, when he announced this invasion.
00:09:18.000He said, essentially, that anyone who intervenes will be responded to with a high level of force.
00:10:07.100Look at the way the world is changing around us and understand how this is happening.
00:10:11.600Before I wrap up this segment, I'll give you a basic encapsulation of what we know in terms of how the operation is going on on the ground.
00:10:19.580The Russian lines are pushing in from the south, from the east, and from the north.
00:10:25.360From the north, I think that's the one most people are focused on right now.
00:10:28.860They are pushing down from areas of Belarus and areas of western Russia.
00:10:35.080They're coming down across the border regions, and they're headed in a pincer movement directly for Kiev.
