A Russian naval group with a submarine, frigate, and two support ships is currently in Cuba for military exercises. Though the Russians claim there are no nuclear missiles on board, they do have hypersonic missiles, which are still very concerning. This situation is not ideal, as having part of the Russian Navy so close to the U.S. coast poses a potential threat to national security.
Sen. Ted Cruz criticized the Biden administration for its policy of appeasement, stating that it has led to dangerous situations like this. He believes that Biden’s weakness and engagement in appeasement have emboldened America’s enemies. Cruz pointed out that at the start of Biden’s presidency, he gave a significant gift to Russia by waiving sanctions on the Nordstream 2 pipeline, which Cruz had previously worked on imposing.

Cruz suggested that Biden’s actions may have inadvertently empowered Russian President Putin, potentially leading to aggressive moves like the invasion of Ukraine. He also raised concerns about Biden’s failures in securing the southern border, highlighting the overall dangers posed by the current administration’s policies.
From a conservative perspective, it is crucial to have a strong and assertive approach to foreign policy to protect national interests and ensure the safety of the country and its allies. The Biden administration’s perceived weakness and appeasement are seen as contributing factors to the escalation of threats from adversaries like Russia. It is essential for leaders to prioritize national security and take decisive actions to deter hostile actions from foreign powers. The situation with the Russian naval group in Cuba underscores the importance of maintaining a vigilant stance against potential threats to American security.
