“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.

maybe-later-kiddo 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.
