Washington A Venezuelan fighter aircraft recently made an"unsafe approach" to a US Navy aircraft flying in international airspace,"endangering the safety of the crew and jeopardizing" the aircraft's mission, the US military said Sunday.
The incident, which occurred on Friday, involved a"Russian-made" SU-30 Flanker Venezuelan fighter aircraft and a US Navy EP-3 Aries II aircraft conducting a"detection and monitoring" mission, US Southern Command said in a statement. In a Sunday tweet, the Southern Command said the incident happened in international airspace over the Caribbean Sea.
— U.S. Southern Command July 21, 2019 Venezuela's military weighed in Sunday, denouncing the US aircraft for violating"security of air operations and international treaties."The military reported that Venezuelan strategic high command"proceeded to intercept the aircraft through two airplanes of the Bolivarian Air Force with the intention of applying the international protocols established by the International Civil Aviation Organization .
So let me get this right. The US Navy went into an international airspace but get mad when another aircraft space them? Aww. Don't go somewhere where you don't belong. It called international airspace for a reason.
Should have shot it down
There's no better way for the US to show that their fascist & imperialist war of aggression it wants against Iran is truly about 'freedom and democracy' than by deploying an additional 500 troops to a hyper-authoritarian Wahhabi absolute monarchy that beheads protesters
Shoot their arses out of the sky
LEAVE THESE COUNTRIES ALONE. WE HAVE THE INTERNET. WE'VE READ (NONGOVERMENT ISSUED) HISTORY BOOKS.

Kinda weird how the country is imploding and they also have the biggest oil reserves in the world, almost as if one small provocation could make them ripe for the picking

The people of Venezuela are starving. Eating old food, getting sick. Can’t speak to their families. If lucky, can have internet briefly and speak in code to family outside of the country. How about reporting on the treatment of their citizens? And how we can help.
Sure they did.
Deflecting ?
Invading other countries airspace with surveillance equipment and always claiming international airspace.
And? Trump won’t do anything!
911Truth NeverForget that Israel was behind 911
The Three entire Venezuelan Air Force against the entire US military? Only could see this as a threat. Since most Venezuelans are headed to the US border.
Placing their country so close to US military operations is a clear provocation.
God have mercy on planet earth.

.....should have said realDonaldTrump Mr President I'm sorry you feel that way but we need to focus on what will help everyone not certain few or groups. What is so frustrating is IlhanMN is literally the americandream. Came from poverty and war came to America made good.....
And so ...
Wag the dog
Right but whats more important is what a few drunk people started cheering in a crowd, or maybe it's more important to worry about tweets that this one or that one said... What bothers me thw most and I think IlhanMN missed a great chance to make the Dem party look good and.....
Oh....who else has been doing this for a few years now? Russia that's who!!!
