The Peace President orders unilateral no-fly zone over Venezuela

It’s the non-interventionist mindset. You wouldn’t understand:

President Donald Trump abruptly ordered the airspace closed above and around Venezuela on Saturday, further escalating tensions between the U.S. president and Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, whom the White House accuses of working with narco-terrorist organizations to facilitate drug trafficking.

“To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY,” the president wrote on Truth Social Saturday morning.

The Federal Aviation Administration recently issued a security notice warning airlines and pilots to avoid Venezuelan airspace, citing “a worsening security situation,” increased military activity and potential GPS interference as risks to flights. On Thursday, Venezuela revoked operating rights for six major international airlines that had suspended flights to the country following the FAA’s warning.

But Trump’s move to close the airspace “in its entirety” goes further than the FAA’s decision, signaling the U.S. now views Venezuelan skies as an active security threat, not just a risky transit zone.

In a statement, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gill said that Trump’s post constituted a “hostile, unilateral, and arbitrary act,” prohibited by the Charter of the United Nations.

“Venezuela denounces and condemns the colonialist threat that seeks to affect the sovereignty of its airspace, constituting a new, extravagant, illegal, and unjustified act of aggression against the people of Venezuela,” he said.

Using the drug war as a pretext for forcible regime change at the same time as you’re pardoning Juan Orlando Hernández is the very essence of MAGA. Wilhoit’s Law also describes the underlying basis for his foreign policy, and people who mistake this for some kind of “anti-war” stance are some of the most pathetic marks in the known universe.
