In a bold move last Thursday, Venezuela's defense and foreign ministries condemned an unauthorised U.S. combat aircraft flight detected 75 kilometers off its shores. 😲✈️
Foreign Minister Yvan Gil took to social media to label the incursion a “provocation that threatens national sovereignty,” citing violations of international law and the Convention on International Civil Aviation. He warned that the manoeuvre put Caribbean Sea aviation safety at risk and said other incursions were also spotted.
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez slammed the deployment, denouncing “military harassment” by Washington and urging the U.S. not to make a mistake by attacking a nation striving for peace, work, and happiness.
It’s like a real-life game of Risk 🎲, but with much higher stakes as Caracas and Washington exchange warnings at sea. The question now: will diplomacy calm the waters, or will tensions keep rising? 🌊🤔
