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.

Heh, this will teach CRAZY Maduro not to [checks notes] fly in a presidential plane that all heads of state of literally every country do because it's efficient.

    “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.”

      Yeah that'll teach a country already under crippling US sanctions who's leader is always being targeted for assassination anyway.

    The evil empire is a bunch of pirates and highwaymen. They need a century of humiliation of their own.
