Two U.S. F-18 fighter jets flying in tandem entered Venezuelan airspace around noon Tuesday, circling over the Gulf of Venezuela in the latest show of force against the regime of Nicolás Maduro.
The flyover — carried out despite the Venezuelan regime’s possession of a number of Russian-made anti-aircraft batteries — took place less than 100 miles northeast of Maracaibo, Venezuela’s second-largest city. Thousands of Venezuelans tracked the aircraft online through specialized tracking websites, watching as the jets traced a bow-tie-shaped pattern over the gulf.
The fighters remained inside Venezuelan airspace for at least 40 minutes at an altitude of roughly 25,000 feet before heading north and leaving the area.
I do. So what’s your response? Lay down and let the bullying beat you until you’re dead?
America has already broken their airspace and is randomly killing their civilians without any repercussions, and the world is just sitting idly by while it happens.
For now, yes. They’re trying to get OPEC to ally with them for defense.
I agree. At some point someone has to figure out a way to go after the US. I don’t know what that is.
