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.

“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?

    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?
