The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

2. So how is that supposed to work?

Are we now patrolling the airspace all around Venezuela, which would necessitate invading the airspace of Colombia, Brazil and Guyana, and shooting down any aircraft entering Venezuela's airspace? Would that mean that airlines can't even use routes that fly over Venezuela en route to somewhere else? What the actual fuck?

Direct flights by US passenger or cargo carriers to Venezuela have been suspended since 2019, but some US airlines fly over the country for some South American flights. American Airlines said on Friday it had stopped overflying Venezuela in October. Delta Air Lines said it had stopped flying over Venezuela “a while ago.” United Airlines did not immediately comment. https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/21/americas/faa-warning-venezuela-flights-intl-hnk At some point a commercial airliner, maybe not from the US, is going to fly over Venezuela and Trump will have it shot down and there will be Hell to pay.
