Read me of this meddlesome priest.

16. I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Ocelot II]

2. So how is that supposed to work?

Are we now patrolling the airspace all around Venezuela, which would necessitate invading the airspace of Colombia, Brazil and Guyana, and shooting down any aircraft entering Venezuela's airspace? Would that mean that airlines can't even use routes that fly over Venezuela en route to somewhere else? What the actual fuck?

Direct flights by US passenger or cargo carriers to Venezuela have been suspended since 2019, but some US airlines fly over the country for some South American flights. American Airlines said on Friday it had stopped overflying Venezuela in October. Delta Air Lines said it had stopped flying over Venezuela “a while ago.” United Airlines did not immediately comment. https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/21/americas/faa-warning-venezuela-flights-intl-hnk At some point a commercial airliner, maybe not from the US, is going to fly over Venezuela and Trump will have it shot down and there will be Hell to pay.

15. Colombia and Brazil are prob in his beady sight too

[duckworth969]

20. Colombia for sure

[MarineCombatEngineer]

22. Colombia wouldn't a pushover,

their military are well trained and armed by the US military, yes, in the end, they would probably lose a conventional war, but a guerilla war would be a disaster for US forces.

[Liberal In Texas]

3. Sounds like an Act of War.

Where the F is our do-nothing Congress in this?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. On VACATION! Fucking MAGAts are USELESS!!!

Mike Johnson is toast if he opines that he is agreement about this latest stunt.

[mountain grammy]

5. Madman.

6. Does this include sex traffickers? Just asking

[woodsprite]

7. My nephew said his unit has been put on notice

That they’d be the first ones over to Venezuela if we send ground troops over.

8. Every year I fly to Bonaire

It's a Dutch island that's 50 miles from Venezuela. Aruba and Curacao are just as close. Commercial airliners including American, United, Jet Blue, and KLM all fly there. This. makes me nervous.

9. Remember Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine in 2014?

Russian militants shot it down and killed over 300 people because they thought it was a Ukrainian military aircraft.

We're risking just the same situation over Venezuela now.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. Or the USS Vincennes incident that killed all 290 people on board.

10. Utter Madness!

There is absolutely no justification for this level of action. Trump wants to be a "wartime President," because he thinks that will be the best possible distraction.

[Arazi]

11. While he doesn't have the authority, unfortunately he has the ability

And as the torpedoed boats demonstrate, he also has American military people who will break international law for him.

I certainly wouldn’t be getting on any aircraft in the region and testing this 😬

[moondust]

12. Mr. God Complex

controls all of Earth's airspace, international waters, and everything else. Just so you know.



God complex

[dalton99a]

17. He'll order astronomers to rename Earth Planet Trump.

[purr-rat beauty]

13. Sounds like terrorism...

...to me

He needs to go

[Uncle Joe]

18. *rump knows that he's in major political trouble at home.

So he wants to follow Putin and Netanyahu's formula for avoiding political or legal trouble, wage relentless war in an attempt to get the American People to rally around the flag and forget his administration's transgressions, and incompetence.

Thanks for the thread Swede.

19. Projecting again.

Airspace over Mar APedo was closed.

21. "Thank you for your attention to this matter" is code for "signed, your horrible 'Boss'". nt

[struggle4progress]

23. He seems to be the kinda guy who gets C4 golfballs stuffed with blasting caps for Christmas

all in good fun, of course
