"Push make some Western decent summer.

Naturally, an out-of-band-rass step from his waist and tank and rest.

The holiday was super-analyzed.

Three small columns of women with no spring pomers for no 9 or no 90.

You had it right, just 9 or no 90. There, lo and safety powder. An untanied out-band-rass step in full total name and the rest step in the E. Furious world leaders are striking back at Donald Trump and they are threatening him with a symmetric warfare as the Trump regime.

It puts in a demand for $1.0 trillion for a defense budget. We're seeing countries across the world saying we can do more than the United States

can with their $1.5 trillion defense budget by investing in asymmetric warfare by focusing

on drones and other asymmetric tactics that they observed that were utilized by Iran when the Trump regime in Netanyahu invaded Iran. So what we're seeing right now is Donald Trump is showing utter weakness after his disastrous trip to China. More on that in a moment I'll tell you what Xi Jinping is doing to Donald Trump's under

secretary of war that Elbridge Colby guy who tries to act all tough and attacks Canada. So while Donald Trump had this disastrous appearance in China, we're seeing countries across the world projecting strength and saying we don't need the United States. Of course, we saw this with Ukraine, President Zelensky showing the power of his drone army

of his ballistic missiles and the Ukrainians forces being able to strike deep within Moscow

in oil depose there and infrastructure surrounding Moscow. That's one of the reasons why Putin had to head over immediately to China and Xi Jinping

to help coordinate because that's the alliance, right?

It's Russia, China, it's Iran, it's North Korea. So we saw that happen in Ukraine. We saw Taiwan just over the past 24, 48 hours. As Donald Trump has shown other weakness, Taiwan is showing that still with those Abrams tanks that the US previously gave them with the weapons that Taiwan has, they've been

running numerous military drills, both before Donald Trump's disastrous trip to China. And after they're showing two main capabilities, number one, they're showing the ability to project strength with amphibious invasions by China. And so they ran a lot of drills right on the shore. And then they've been showing that they're willing to deploy asymmetric warfare within

these cities themselves and they showed that they have capabilities of driving these massive

tanks across the bridges and what they would do in the event of an invasion by China.

So we're seeing that there. Of course, we're seeing Iran continue to taunt the United States, continue to say, if you re-up the invasion, we're going to unleash the same asymmetric tactics you saw across the Middle East and we've seen these Iranian militia groups and Iranian proxy groups, whether it's the militia groups in Iraq, whether it is Hezbollah, whether it is the Houthis, they've

been able to utilize what Iran's been able to utilize as well, which are these FPV drones, the Shahid drones, more the FPV drones is what they're able to utilize. And other weapons that can be made at a fraction of a fraction of the cost that the United States uses. I mean, the Trump regime was using the stat and Patriot systems that cost like hundreds

of millions of dollars in each missile can cost, you know, millions of dollars and the Iranian weaponry, you're talking about thousands of dollars, $25,000, $30,000, and they're able to churn them out on these assembly lines that they've developed in Tehran and Iran in the surrounding country, as well as they've developed manufacturing plants in Russia as well, which Russia's able to send through the Caspian Sea.

And then that brings us to Cuba, you know about the U.S. blockade there, the Trump regime seems to be moving closer to an invasion of Cuba. And we see there the leader of Cuba as well, Miguel Diaz Canelberg, you know, I mean, he's posting, you know, look, you know, we know why you're going after Raul Castro, the 94-year-old former leader, you know, I say, look, this is all part of

the pretext to invade. You have the playbook that you use in Venezuela. You indict the leader or in this case, the old leader, you come up with additional reasons

Why Cuba poses a threat, laundered through Axios over the weekend was the sto...

drones ready to go in Cuba in order to attack Florida, and specifically hit the keys.

Remember the Florida keys, sheriff is like, yeah, we don't know anything about that. And then boom, you know, right on, Cuba has 300 drones, 90 miles away from Miami, 90 miles away from our coast, oh, we're going to have to invade Cuba to get rid of the drones. One of the things that Cuba is saying is that they're being saying, look, you're starving us to death.

We pose no threat to you. Obviously, if you invade us, we're going to have to defend ourselves. We don't have a traditional army. People don't know the actual size and scale of the Cuban army. They have a deep-seated militia structure there as well.

And while, you know, I think that the regime in Cuba is increasingly unpopular with the

people, as we saw with the Rana, as we saw elsewhere, the U.S. invasions of places does

tend to rally people around a national identity, as oftentimes the Trump regime attacks the people. And also, there's, you know, from what I've read of the intelligence in terms of the Cuban army, there's still sufficient people loyal to the Cuban army, the Cuban militias, the Cuban identity where this will be no Venezuela.

You're not just going to show up and then do a very basic regime change. And all of the leadership in Cuba made it very clear, this will be bloody. We will fight, we will fight to the death to protect Cuba's sovereignty. We're not just tapping out. And the Trump regime is getting increasingly frustrated, because they're like, we did this

blockade. We're starving Cuba to death. Why is in Cuba surrendering, right? This was the same tactic that the Trump regime tried to use with the Rana. Look, we have all our ships there.

We're doing our threats. Why is in Iran just giving up? Well, I think increasingly, though, people see how wheat Donald Trump looks.

And ultimately, you look to Iran, if the great and powerful United States army has been reduced

to basically being a bunch of bandits or pirates in the Persian Gulf, bragging about stopping cargo ships and tankers and Donald Trump brags about being a pirate.

I think other nations are saying in different ways, one, can we stand up to the United States?

It's going to be difficult. But they've got this big massive, glide, slow moving old school warfare. And we look at modern weaponry and adapt our tactics. And I think you're seeing Cuba do that or Iran do that. They're looking there.

And by the way, China, unlike the US, they've been focused a ton on developing these nimble weapon systems. And also, we, I mean, the intelligence suggests that China has been helping Iran also training Russians in drone warfare with a lot of Chinese technology there. Now, as I said at the outset, I was going to get back to one of the leverage points.

That China is now using it. This stuff needs to get way more attention than it is. And that's why we cover this stuff on the Midas Touch Network. So you know, Elbridge Colby, who's the number two at the Defense Department, they call themselves the war department, they're the Defense Department.

He's right under Hexip. So he was the guy earlier this week who threatened Canada. We're pulling out of the joint defense program that's been around since the 1940s. Look, I was strong. I'm threatening Canada, don't you dare use this rhetoric, Canada against us, I'm reposted

the article about Prime Minister Cardi's Davos speech, right? We're currently wanting to unite the world, multilateralism. This is a massive rupture in the trust of the world that was caused by the United States. Right? That would remember I showed you that guy's social media post, well, what's going on behind

his scenes as well is you have Xi Jinping saying, I'm going to ban Elbridge Colby from coming to China, and we are not going to buy those Boeing jets. We didn't know deals with the United States is what China is saying. We've made preliminary conversations, but we've made no actual deals with the United States.

We want clarification and confirmation that the United States is not going to provide

military weapons to Taiwan, that's what Xi Jinping said, confirm that you won't give

military weapons to Taiwan, and we'll do business with you. All of those things, remember Donald, you showed up and you then went and you told your

Country, all of these things that you got, by the way, which those things wer...

amount as what Biden got, right? Biden had double these things.

I mean, when it comes to the soybeans, when it comes to the manufacturing, when it comes

to the chips, Donald Trump caused China to basically go to zero, and then China raised

it to half the amount to Biden, and then Donald Trump's like, oh, yeah, very good, very good. This is like, what a art of the deal, art of the deal, everybody. So now Xi Jinping, Lord Trump in, cornered him, and now is saying, okay, now you don't give this. Obviously, as what we said was going to happen, now you don't give Taiwan any weapons,

and then we'll play ball, we'll do the chips, you know, because they also said, you know, we're not buying any Nvidia chips, we're not doing any of these things. So China's exerting its leverage right now, and they know how weak Donald Trump looks right now.

So we're seeing no Donald Trump respond to these threats that China's not going to order

the Boeing's. They're not going to meet with Elbridge Colby, and just think about what we've seen Donald Trump do over the past 24 to 48 hours, folks, it is the height of weakness. So this was Donald Trump's speech that he gave yesterday, when he was in front of the uh, coast guards, and listen to what he says about Taiwan and front of the coast guards,

play this clip close to 50% of the chip business by the time I leave, and right now we have none practically, and we'll have uh, it was taken by other places, it was taken by Taiwan. I'm not knocking them. I'm saying if they can get away with it, but if you had the right

president, that would have never happened.

And then he refers to the weapons to Taiwan as quote, the Taiwan problem when he was on the tarmac. Here's what he referred to as the Taiwan problem. I mean, what a horrible thing here, play this clip. Are you going to want to have any plans to call president lie before you make your decision on the arms field? Do you have any plans to call president lie of Taiwan before you make a decision

on the weapons package? Well, I'll speak to him. I speak to everybody. Uh, we have that situation very well in hand. We had a great meeting with President Xi, and really it was amazing actually, it was amazing. You many of you were there. We'll work on that that Taiwan problem. And then you see him scrambling to help Russia and Belarus Donald Trump wants Ukraine to help

ease restrictions on Belarusian patech. Think about that. The fertilizer, the U.S. is pushing Ukraine to convince European countries to ease restrictions on Belarus, patech on patech imports of Belarusian fertilizer. Washington believes that softening sanctions on patech fertilizers. Once one of Belarus's key sources of foreign currency could

partly pull Belarus away from that. That's just the album. What are we talking about over here?

Because this has Steve Whitkoff. I was making his seventh visit to Russia. He just announced zero trips to Ukraine. Seven trips to Russia right here. I mean, it's it's unbelievable. And then you had Donald Trump's acting attorney general Todd Blanche. So yeah, with role Castro, this isn't a show. We really, we really intend to indict this guy. This 94 year old, you're playing this clip. We didn't indict. This isn't a show indictment. This isn't

indictment. Because we expect that there was a warrant issued for his arrest. So we expect that he will show up here by his own will or by another way. Then a reporter says, it seems like you're just trying to create a pretext for war right here. And watch what Blanche says. Let's play this clip. Thank you. One other question. When, when if people look at this and say, this is at least partially just a pretext to push for regime changing Cuba. What would you say to people who

take that perspective? I don't care what people look at and think. I mean, we return to an indictment.

And that's what we're here to talk about it. If people want to speculate or think what they will,

I don't, I don't care. Okay. One more question. So the mightest touch network caught up with one of these mega Republican Congress members from Florida's Cuban. And he's was one of the kind of more mongers who wants an invasion of Cuba. Carlos Heemenes and our Pablo Monriquez as Teemenes. So it should the U.S. attack Cuba. And he goes, I don't think it's going to be necessary because the Cuban people are feeling, you know, are suffering so much that they're going to take back the

country themselves. And they're going to protest. And the amount to pressure we're putting on Cuba, we're not going to need to invade. Let me just show you what he said. Play this clip.

Congressman, I'm sure you've been asked about this all day.

you United States attack Cuba? Say what? Should the United States attack Cuba? I don't think

it's going to be necessary. I think the Cuban people are also going to do something about the regime. There's a lot of protests happening every day. Yeah, thank you. And so, you know, the pressure I think is working. That's the regime is in the week of the condition. It's ever been. Okay. So you know, just saying just let it play out, but not no U.S. intervention is necessary.

Okay, thank you very much. That's why. Now, isn't this exactly what you said when it

came to Iran? The people are going to stand up. It's a Donald and Netanyahu. Thank you so much. This is exactly what we wanted. And that's obviously not what happened. And this is what they're,

this is what they're going with again right here. And so, look, what keep you posted every step of

the way. You know, again, I mentioned at the outset, you have, you know, people in the inner circle of the Iranian negotiating team saying militarily, Iran is now stronger than it was at the beginning of the war. Iranians are steadfast in their positions regarding sovereignty. You know, we're not going to make concessions when it comes to basic issues of sovereignty. Iran's bragging about the 42 aircraft that it destroyed thus far in the war. I mean, four F-15s, one F-35, one A-10,

seven KC, one 35 strata tankers and E-3 centering. And this was all just the United States government

had to confess and admit to this. And I'll, I'll leave you at this point right here because to me, this says a lot. This is what they were discussing on newsmax right here. They brought on James Colmer, Maggie Republican and even Newsmax is skeptical of what the Trump regime is doing in Cuba. Let me show you what down on Newsmax here play this clip. I really don't think Rob, it'll get to any type of military action. But the president's threatening that he's increased

sanctions on Cuba. I don't know how many more sanctions the humans can take, especially after what happened in Venezuela. The Cuban American population clearly supports what the president's doing in Cuba. That's far, it hasn't cost any tax dollars, whether it's in a few diplomats to Cuba.

But at the end of the day, I think that we've got to be on guard because of the new types of warfare

that's out there with these new drones. Well, I get to see you by out in Iran. I understand that. Axios had a report this week that the U.S. is concerned. I'm sure you saw this about a possible Cuba drone strike on Florida. And I'll be honest, Mr. Chairman. I know that you've got the security clearance to know more about this. But to me, this just sounds like we're trying to make the case to attack Cuba. I don't buy it. It sounds like a false flag operation.

Would you support military action in Cuba if it came to that? And I guess more importantly, do you buy this report, Axios? Well, I know that I've been one of the biggest critics of our intelligence community over the past 10 years. Right. They're usually wrong. And then you had Prime Minister Cardi saying, look, everybody, Canada, we're stable here. We're stable here, everybody. Let's play this clip. We're at the heart of the energy transition in so many different

areas. And in an uncertain world, we have another commodity that partners are choosing. It's the rarest of commodities. Unfortunately, these days, which is trust. Canada is a stable, reliable partner in a world that is anything but. And as our strategic value is a reliable, carbon energy provider is unlocking markets for Canadian products and investments across the board. That's the core point. There's a huge commercial opportunity. But it unlocks much more. And that's

what we're leveraging to make us more independent as a country more resilient and more prosperous. So there you have the folks. Let me know what you think. Let's hit subscribe. Let's get to seven
