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

“Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

A clear indication that military action is eminent.

Yes. It ain't just about drugs.

It's about certain shthole countries stirring up trouble on our side of the world, the Monroe Doctrine, and no telling what else.

Perhaps the communist takeover of Venezuela AND Brazil, and Bolsonaro arrested and thrown in jail.

With the CIA up to their eyeballs in the Brazil situation, BTW.

And, it would be reasonable to assume that this is what the six CIA/USAID lackey Senators and congressholes were anticipating when they pulled their little stunt about illegal orders.

It's their opportunity to create a schism in the military that they can use to further create chaos.

“It’s their opportunity to create a schism in the military that they can use to further create chaos.”

Yes, and it’s a situation that, IMHO, Trump has anticipated by purging the senior ranks of the military Millie types who betrayed him in the first administration. He’s also done a really good job by appointing Hagseth who’s carried out the same kind of operation in the lower ranks, especially by re militarizing the military, discouraging the recruitment of unsuitable people, and insisting on rigorous training standards that attract the very kind of people who will have nothing to do betraying him

I read a report on MSN last night about an Air Force communication command plane that went silent yesterday off the Virginia coast. I think it was for a recent drill about what to do when comms are down, but the article was deleted before I could check it out.

Anybody here hear anything about this?
