US seizes Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane in the Dominican Republic

The United States has seized Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane after determining that its acquisition was in violation of US sanctions, among other criminal issues. The US flew the aircraft to Florida on Monday, according to two US officials.

It’s the latest development in what has long been a frosty relationship between the US and Venezuela, and its seizure in the Dominican Republic marks an escalation as the US continues to investigate what it regards as corrupt practices by Venezuela’s government.

The plane has been described by officials as Venezuela’s equivalent to Air Force One and it has been pictured in previous state visits by Maduro around the world.

America is taking bullying to another level.

Yes, America is showing its true colors, their contempt for the nations they consider to be lesser, Donald Trump incited an insurrection in the country that suppose to be the World's leader, his plane was not taken away, actually he is not even charged with that crime, Netanyahu has murdered more than 50,000 people, the World Court has made recommendations of war crimes against him, but he was invited to make a speech on Capitol Hill and received standing ovations there, However, Maduro is accused of stealing an Election, the same thing Trump unsuccessfully tried to do, but his plane was taken away,

Dominican Republic must officially change its name to Banana Republic
