Exclusive: US seizes Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane in the Dominican Republic | CNN Politics

“We see these officials and the Maduro regime basically fleecing the Venezuelan people for their own gain,” the US official said. “You have people who can’t even afford a loaf of bread there and then you have the president of Venezuela jetting around in a high-class private jet.”

Um. Hypocritical much?

Maduro is a cunt, but taking his plane is none of US business.
- He wasn't legally allowed to buy the plane because of the sanctions, so it wasn't technically his plane.

The US flew the aircraft to Florida
I see we're recognizing Juan Guaidó as the owner of the plane
- Nope. There was a recent election tat made the President Elect of Venezuela Edmundo Gonzalez for the period 2025-2031
  
  Wheres Eddy now?

We should just reject another county's sovereign status and take their stuff. /s
We do this kind of crap all the time. not /s
- Yeah that's kinda my point. First of all, how is the US even involved in this. Second, the US is comparing us to another countries distribution of basic food needs. We have a whole host of people who can't afford bread. So how is this a flex?
