The US can seize jets but the US cant deport illegal immigrants to Venezuela??

[joes]

When will US focus on US and leave the world alone.

[jclark]

How does the US government have the right to seize property of another government.

[sihletngcobo]

What gives America the right to sieze another States Presidents plane.

Just ridiculous

[vibertify]

There is nothing symbolic about stealing the property of another sovereign country that is just bullying and abuse of power by the government of the US which is supposed to setting the example within the law for other countries to follow. What kind of example is being set here?

[lachen]

Pirates! Air pirates! What would happen if US Airforce One too is similarly seized by another country? Will the US not immediately declare it as an act of war? How can anyone call it an "illegal purchase" just because someone else in the neighbourhood doesn't agree for its purchase? Shameless.

[davidthompson]

Under international law it is called piracy

[hokroeger]

"We lied, we cheated, we stole" (Mike Pompeo). Nothing has changed.

[rebareyes]

The underlying issue- the US wants oil and lithium in Venezuela.

[kevinc]

Wouldn't this only make Venezuela just form an alliance with the USA's enemy countries? Like North Korea, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Ect.

[victoroneschuck]

Looks like the U.S. is looking for yet another fight. Ridiculous.

[Jilbreel]

This is the reason Venezuelans come here and get money. Thank you, US gov, for making it worse for us.

[BigFlexT.V]

That’s stealing, regardless of what you call it.

[kathelineblain]

When will the U.S stop bullying other country

[ericcasanova]

Send the fbi to Afghanistan to get us military property

[DerekDAngel]

So when the U.S Government hijacks and steals an aircraft from another country it's called "seizure" but when I yank an ATM out of the ground with a U-Haul pick-up truck it's called "robbery"...

[artiartibald]

That's why more and more countries are joining the BRICS and turning away from the dollar, the United States has cut off the branch on which they were sitting

[alvisserrano]

The venezuelen people voted maduro avoiding a US puppet take his place.

[miguelfuerte]

35 trillion in debt. The FBI is having to work harder to EARN.

[Luiz-ws]

And the US wonder why Brics is growing day by day and China is so popular among global south countries.
