US Seizes Venezualan Presidential Airplane in the Domican Republic
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.
“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.” ... “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.”
Considering the electoral college exists and America effectively has 1 party, Venezuala should take Air Force One after the next American election. The election wasn't free or fair afterall.

I guess Maduro should just take the bus when attending to matters of state, just like every president.

That stuck out like a sore thumb
illegally purchased for $13 million
lol that has to be literally the cheapest private jet imaginable and they have the gall to call it "high-class" while the US president jets around with a 747 and motorcade vehicles, and they're planning to replace their 747 with a new plane.

Quick question how much does tax calculation software cost?

I was thinking that too when I saw this on CNN. And make Biden and Harris fly coach.
I think this is the money quote: "no one is above the reach of US sanctions"
I think The Powers That Be are getting a little antsy after sanctions failed to bring financial collapse to the Russian state and are looking for ways to make examples.
Fascist cold war bullshit

Venezuala should take Air Force One after the next American election
I don't know if Venazuala has the ability to do that. It's obviously more of a "because we can" sort of thing.
Vanazuala wouldn't be able to respond in kind without a war arising over it.
