Exclusive: US seizes Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane in the Dominican Republic | CNN Politics
The United States has seized Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane after determining that its acquisition was in violation of US sanctions, among other criminal issues. The US flew the aircraft to Florida on Monday, according to two US officials.
Heh, this will teach CRAZY Maduro not to [checks notes] fly in a presidential plane that all heads of state of literally every country do because it's efficient.
You're viewing a single thread.
“This sends a message all the way up to the top,” one of the US officials told CNN. “Seizing the foreign head of state’s plane is unheard-of for criminal matters. We’re sending a clear message here that no one is above the law, no one is above the reach of US sanctions.”
Yeah that'll teach a country already under crippling US sanctions who's leader is always being targeted for assassination anyway.
Also saying this while providing support to Israel for its genocidal campaign is just the epitomy of hypocrisy.
Oh no, Maduro may be circumventing the terms of a largely unilateral sanction

Here's another billion to bomb another school friend.
The real message this sends is "You can't even trust US and their puppets with elementary diplomacy, they are rabid dogs"
