Big props to the reporter broadcasting from home with a Lavalier mic most reporters depend on their iPads, internal microphone and sound horrible. Good job dude.

Propaganda headline. Change it to "US *stole* plane used by Venezuelan president".

Well at this point which building do they need to blame on someone? Wow

[Ah]

Who sold the plane? Purchased by a shell company in the Caribbean? A thorough cradle to grave DOJ investigation is in order here, and criminal charges need to follow for the responsible parties.

We sure stay in conflict with the world's largest oil reservists...

[fxmonk]

So which Caribbean country registered the plane??

This is why the world is turning to BRICS.

There is a TV show called “Plane Repo” that recovers planes for the banks. Every runway strip has plane spotters looking at the plane’s tail numbers to make a buck by dropping the dime to the plane repo companies. Looks like the plane spotter got a big payday by dropping the dime to the Feds. The Feds give a bigger payday based on the jet’s selling price.

Lets have a count how many world leaders were disapproved by U.S.

May Maduro, ayatollah, Putin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, Stalin,
and others like them, as a Hitler, also not have another Personal Plane.
That is perhaps one way we can feel about this.
