FAA Warns of 'Heightened Military Activity' After U.S. Sends Aircraft Carrier
Multiple international airlines halted flights to Venezuela after the FAA issued a NOTAM citing 'heightened military activity' and a 'worsening security situation.' What Axios buries in its fine print is the fact that this 'heightened military activity' includes the U.S. sending the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier to the Caribbean – a military buildup openly aimed at toppling Venezuelan
President Nicolás Maduro, who coincidentally has a $50 million U.S. bounty on his head. One might wonder if the 'security situation' worsened organically, or if it was intentionally provoked by said military buildup. So, the U.S. manufactures a threat, then warns others about the threat it created, causing global airlines to ground flights. It’s a masterclass in self-fulfilling prophecy and
coercive foreign policy, cloaked in the neutral language of 'FAA warnings.' And still, we're supposed to believe this is about upholding democracy, not about resource control and regime change. Colombian President Gustavo Petro correctly points to this as blocking people, asking, “How many blockades does a nation endure before it becomes a crime against humanity?
