Venezuela has accused Donald Trump of making a “colonialist threat” after he said the airspace around the country should be considered closed.
The country’s foreign ministry called Trump’s comments “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people”.
The US does not legally have the authority to close another country’s airspace, but Trump’s online post could lead to travel uncertainty and deter airlines from operating there.
It’s not a colonialist threat. It’s effectively an act of war.
Fuck this nazi shit country of the united christofascist goat fucking america
I mean it’s basically just declaring war. It’s the US acting unilaterally to attack a foreign nation for no reason at all. Granted that’s nothing new, but at least with Iraq and Afghanistan, Bush got permission from Congress through the Iraq Resolution (and the AUMF Against Terrorists Act in Afghanistan’s case) before he actually invaded. I get the feeling Trump isn’t even going to ask, he’s just going to attack Venezuela, get dragged into a war, and die.
Then again, Obama attacked Libya without congressional approval, and while Congress could have done something about it, they didn’t.
They have oil. That’s the reason.
Don’t worry everyone. Some democrat will post a very safe and polite tweet soon.
They write a sternly worded letter.

Just so it’s clear, Venezuela has ample oil, and holds one of the world’s top ten supplies of fresh water.
Didn’t they also heavily develop a lithium extraction industry in the last decade or so?
no, that was Bolivia
Much thanks for the correction
