Donald Trump says airspace above and around Venezuela is closed

President made declaration in a social media post, after FAA last week warned airlines of ‘worsening security situation’

Trump, in a Truth Social post said: “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.”

Venezuela’s communications ministry, which handles all press inquiries for the government, did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Trump’s post.

The US defense department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

US strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean have been under way for months, along with a US military buildup in the region, and Trump has authorized covert CIA operations in Venezuela.

The president told military service members this week that the US would “very soon” begin land operations to stop suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers.

I told you! The Epstein files must be close to being released.

The hole is being dug deeper and deeper. This will get Hegseth prosecuted for murder.......and is definate grounds for another trump impeachment. More than likely the soldiers carrying out these orders against civilians will be court martialed when trump is gone. This is murder against civilians for no grounds whatsoever. "I just did what I was ordered to do" didn't work in Nazi Germany....and it won't here.

Keep good records Dems...........and Hegseth. They will be needed.

@anythingoes477 I agree with every single word you just said. And I know the rest of the world is watching in dismay. But the hole is so deep now, that America is gone forever. Sure we can blame Trump. And he has had a big part in this current episode.. But he only lit the fuse on a selfishness, shallow commercialism and bigotry that was already in enough Americans to explode into MAGA as we see it..😷

Y'all don't know the burden I carry of being right about literally everything.
Could be interesting to see how this plays out. This will be the first time the US tries to establish a no fly zone over a country with modern air defense. Everywhere else the US has fought since the 70s has not had anything more modern than AA systems from the 70s.

This could get messy.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The messier the better for Trump. That way the Epstein files can be quietly buried once they are released. This is the only reason he's about to go to war.
@SW-User I don't know about that. Just because C-130s full of American coffins have never help a president.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow As long as the Epstein files are buried deep in the news cycle, Trump will not care. As I said, the messier the better.

Sadly this affects the nearby islands that count on tourism!!

Well, at least 80 sailors/boaters killed on his orders so far, guess he can't resist the chance of shooting down some airplanes, too??
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@ChipmunkErnie And if some poor US pilot gets shot down over Venezuela? 😷
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@whowasthatmaskedman Trump will use it as an excuse to ramp up his attacks.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@ChipmunkErnie Of course he will. The Man is on a path to destabilise Venezuela and is destabilising America at the same time. How long before it seems like a good idea for Stephen Miller to speak to JD Vance about replacing the President "for the good of the nation"?😷
Think Bay of Pigs and Vietnam... US soldiers will have hell trying to secure themselves on land and even if they take out Maduro, the Bolivarian Revolution will live on.
@Jokersswild Yep. Even more similar to Vietnam is it will be regional. Colombia has already stated they have about 150 000 troops ready to fight if Trump starts a brawl in Venezuela.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow If I were Maduro, I would be sending troops across the border into Mexico, coordinate with the Mexican cartels. Why is it these people have no military strategy?

Send in 20,000 Venezuelans dressed as ordinary citizens. Purchase some of the artillery from the cartels and smuggle the rest into Mexico and let them come in through Mexico with the help of the cartels.

I'm sure the US has made some deal with Guyana also and I would be looking out for that ... Although that terrian would be difficult for soldiers to cross into... Columbia or Brazil probably isn't going to cooperate with the US, but who knows? Money talks
@Jokersswild I mean yes they need to work together but I would recommend going to the Mexican government, not the cartels. And Mexico would likely be responsive since Rubio already blabbed that they plan to bomb Mexico too.

Colombia has already said they are ready to pick a fight with the Americans if they invade Venezuela.

Oh boy regime change that always works out! Can't wait for Trump III to declare the mission a failure and bring the troops back home in fifteen years.

Trump rules by Tweet...This has to have his White House people tearing their hair out.. No wonder he cant even get third rate people to work or him.😷

@Nanoose Or the guy who over-studied for his oral exams and is paralyzed trying to remember the precise words rather than having learned the message.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Nanoose And here I thought he was having a prostate exam in every picture.😷

@dancingtongue Perhaps Trump is holding his family hostage.
