FAA Warns of 'Dangers' in Venezuela, Ignores US Sanction-Induced Crisis
CBS parroted the FAA's caution about "worsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around Venezuela," leading to airline cancellations. Funny how the 'security situation' got so bad right after the US, under multiple administrations, enacted crippling sanctions, funded opposition movements, and openly discussed military intervention. Remember when Trump's Treasury Department
declared Venezuela a "national security threat" in 2015, paving the way for economic strangulation, or when Elliott Abrams, architect of bloody Latin American interventions, was appointed special envoy in 2019? This isn't just 'heightened military activity'; it's the predictable outcome of a sustained, destabilizing pressure campaign. One might wonder why the FAA issues warnings for a nation under
economic siege by guess who, while US-made bombs rain down elsewhere with nary a peep about airspace safety. Is the 'danger' the Venezuelan government's defense of its sovereignty, or the predictable chaos stemming from years of external meddling designed to force a regime change? CBS, ever the objective observer, makes no connections. (Because connecting dots might imply US culpability, and
that's just bad for ratings.)
