US Military Plane 'Nearly Collides' With Sovereignty Near Venezuela
A US Air Force tanker, reportedly flying without active transponders, nearly hit a civilian flight in Venezuelan airspace. While mainstream media frames this as an aviation safety concern, the historical context reveals a pattern: the U.S. military has a long-standing habit of operating aggressively in Latin American skies, often in direct contravention of national sovereignty. This particular
'near-collision' occurred far from US shores, over Venezuelan territory, a nation the US has repeatedly destabilized economically and politically. It's a reminder that ‘freedom of navigation’ for Washington often means freedom to provoke. One might wonder why a US military refueling plane, bristling with actual transponders , was flying covertly in another nation's flight information region.
Perhaps it's just another routine patrol for the 'rules-based international order'—the one where the US sets the rules and 'order' means constant surveillance (and occasional economic sabotage) of nations that don't fall in line. How many 'near-misses' does it take before we question the intention behind these flights?
