Venezuela has accused Donald Trump of making a “colonialist threat” after he said the airspace around the country should be considered closed.
The country’s foreign ministry called Trump’s comments “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people”.
The US does not legally have the authority to close another country’s airspace, but Trump’s online post could lead to travel uncertainty and deter airlines from operating there.
Has a different meaning to everyone when you change the country names
Perhaps go with the original.
Russia illegally annexes Crimea.
I don’t think it does.
Honestly this comment is just so confusing and baffling I’m just dumbfounded. What on earth do you mean? The relationship between China and taiwan is nothing like the relationship between the US and Venezuela
Edit: even if it was…why would it just be presumed to be cool that China close the airspace around Taiwan? Wtf
If the usa invades sovereign and peaceful Venezuela there should be sanctions and retribution, the same way as Russia invading Ukraine. What is missing in the current situation is condemning the usa the same way as when China talks about Taiwan; two standards.
Henry Rollins would be shaking his head at your lack of understanding
That’s rather the point? See how ridiculous is sounds in a different context?
To me it doesn’t. It is still bad. At least with China and Taiwan we know what they want, with Venezuela it is just speculation. Nobody believes it is drugs.
My speculation is that he isn’t planning to invade and this is to push Venezuela and other Latin American countries to develop closer relationship with Russia. He did it with Iran, China, India and others.
Speculation? Let me speculate it’s the same reason as Iraq 2, Iraq 1, Iran (Shah)…
We know what they want in Venezuela too. It’s their oil reserves.
It’s also to reduce Russia’s influence in South America.
Just ml and hexbear on that one
Why? Venezuela is not a portion of the USA. This is straight US invasion. Like Zionists inventing “Israel” and invading Palestine.
Taiwan has never been ruled by the PRC
and alaska was never part of the 13 colonies. so?
So you mean it’s exactly like China and Taiwan?
How? Taiwan is China.
Taiwan claims sovereignty over mainland China, I doubt Venezuela does the same with the US.
