The US has seized a plane belonging to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro - claiming it was bought illegally for $13m (£9.8m) and smuggled out of the country.
According to the US justice department, the Falcon 900EX aircraft was seized in the Dominican Republic and transferred to the US state of Florida.
It is unclear how and when the plane ended up in the Dominican Republic. Tracking data showed it leaving La Isabela airport near the capital Santo Domingo on Monday, arriving at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida soon after.
A spokesperson for the White House national security council said the action represented "an important step to ensure that Maduro continues to feel the consequences from his misgovernance of Venezuela".

Kabuki theater. The plane’s value is pocket change to Maduro. Deep State can show they’re being tough on Maduro, when in fact they love him.
“Keep sending us all your criminals, Nicky!”
😆
“Stealing an election without authorization is strictly prohibited.”
Well... at least... when it concerns any country other than the USA. (yeah, I get your sarc there)
What is stealing his plane supposed to do?
Physician, heal thyself. The government steals our money, and then gives it away to countries as foreign aid.

Election year tactic to show how tough we are. It’s cheaper than sending troops to Guyana.
What a mystery!
Do you think someone might have FLOWN it there?
He’s cutting in on the CIA’s business.
“But the CIA authorized it. This is just Madura paying for their services”
The problem isn’t with us rigging the election so Maduro got re-elected, the problem is that he’s not willing to ‘pay us back’ by being our bitch - you know, like just about every leader is, at this point.

I may not like the guy but I wouldn’t take something that belongs to him. Maduro is a thug but that’s none of my business...
I received a warning from MalwareBytes about this site.
I’d sure like to see the Feddies “seize” something important. Like our southern and northern borders for instance.
Unless you are a Democrat in the USA. The. It’s a okay
The universal principle is that Commies will fight amongst themselves over the spoils that were stolen from the people. That explains a lot about world conflict generally.
