“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.
Look you can be a “comrade” but ONLY if you live in a carbord box, wear a burlap bag for clothes, and do the Little Timmy “Please Sir, may I have some more?” Meme so we can laugh at you while we criminalize you for being poor.
