Absolutely Insane!
Air Force One is not owned by the US President. It is owned by the American government. This is a private plane that was sold and transferred thru a number of shell companies and registered in the Iralian micro state San Marino.
Technically, legally, this is an asset seizure and forfeiture not much different from drivers getting their cash and cars impounded because a drug dog alerted on it during a traffic stop. And 13 million dollars - the supposed list price, not what the plane will sell for at a future auction - is not that much money after Homeland Security starts reimbursing itself for "necessary and customary" expenses.
Not to mention that when you land a shady-deal acquired plane in one of our ally countries that we've been dealing with for over a decade, they let us and help us solve our crimes within their borders. This was nothing more than a repo and anyone who can't see that is either an idiot or a Maduro fanboy.
If The US Government criminals can get away with THE EVIL THAT THEY DID TO JULIAN ASSANGE: an Australian citizen, NO AMERICAN'S LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS IS GUARANTEED.
Strange how this happened hours after Venezuela launched the first BRICS University!
Wow , now they are stealing each others toys 😂😂😂
Hell now how the hell will Maduro get back and forth to his meetings 😂😊
how about America leave Venezuela alone?
How about Venezuelan gangs leave the country.
@@BettyBlack99Faccctsss
Exactly
One might ask, is the seizure of the plane supported by any law or is it: We got your plane gang style.
Thieves ? Common y’all forget how much gold they stole from the middle east
So how different is this from what is happening here?
@@peggycampbell905 obviously you don’t have any idea . 😂
@@AGUITADECOCO42533 Neither to the other 10 communist likes.
Is it legal?????
US democracy :- Oil! Oil!! Oil!!!
What about Colorado
No one cares about them 😂
Oi mate you got USA license for that Aircraft.
What's wrong with the USA? We can't run our own Country and here we are the self appointed Police Force of the World. Will we get a free November election?
Our own country is fine. Yes we help ou because when we are isolationist we get world war 1 & 2. Grow up.
@shaananwalsh. Your country is not fine, and you don't even know it. Pathetic. The US is not helping Venezuela or anybody. The US has started more wars than the rest of the world combined. You grow up. Nobody putside the west accepts the gangsterism of the USA.
@@Localtraveler2376
just fine, except all-time record breaking illegal entries over the last four years
All you have to do is follow the money.
@@AuroraColoradoUSA do you think there was none while trump was in office ? What did he do to fix or solve the issues ?
smdh
Politically Motivated
By who? Maduro was attempting to steal his election after he lost. Sound familiar? Criminals think, and act, alike.
That's what sanctions are...
What about your corrupted practices?
"That'll learn 'em"
Is this considered a Repo?
Theft
Seizure.
Purchased by illegal means with illegal money. 💰

@colleenpeck. Outside of empire propaganda, you know nothing.
How does that become United States asset?
It was a u.s. product to begin with. It was never to be sold to anyone in Venezuela due to sanctions. Hence why ownership is null and void! Do you not realize Venezuela is the new cuba to the u.s.?
@@shuckyducky-lu8ncVenezuela has been this way since Chavez was in power.
@@shuckyducky-lu8nc so what happens to the person who sold it ?
@josephtafur yes but in the last couple years an embargo was placed on Venezuela for goods just like cuba. The only reason I know is diplimatico is my absolute favorite and dang near impossible to find now here in michigan
@shari9721 smiling counting cash I'm guessing...... don't really know couldn't elaborate for ya
Why's that so personal to us?
Take it GERMS
He’s just gonna get a new plane.
Lol.. exactly... more control of another country ! No sanctions on Israel
from Russia or China
Maybe but not from the UNited States. Maybe Russia and China will give him one . 😂
This will heat up tensions, but will delight the opposition. Not sure it’s a priority for US federal resources since he’ll keep getting new ones.
@@SeeLasSee obviously you are not aware about Maduro’s situation right now .
War in Ukraine/Russia. Cartel pouring drugs into the country every minute n we are focusing on a jet???? This doesn’t make sense
The use of broom sticks has been used for many centuries for solo flying, just consider it
😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
Good one 👍 👏 👌
I thought we buy oil from Venezuela ?
No surprise that the plane was registered in St Vincent & the Grenadines
What’s new, the Americans but in on everything?
Cristian has +20 to blink
piracy
PETTY CONTROL OF ANOTHER COUNTRY AGAIN!
The whole world needs to do something about the corruption in Venezuela. It effects the price of everything.
I didn't know the plane was a country?
@@BeardMan01 By not allowing them to sell their own oil on international markets was one of the reason prices went up
@@LokiTheGodofMischief It's because of the corruption. Maduro has basically become a dictator that has zero concern for the citizens.
Very poor coverage of the Venezuelan situation.
HOW in the F does the USA have jurisdiction over and the ability to indict the people in another countries government ???
Because it was purchased in the USA through a shell company ???
Wonder if it was used for drug trafficking.
It will be by the DEA now.
Yes
no, then it wouldn't have been stopped
Cristian Benavides is one of the worst reporters I've ever seen or heard.
Never gonna happen!
Presidential immunity!
Right. Falsifying Business Records isn't legal in all 50 states or DC. Trump can't claim immunity on that.
Where tf is "20, 22 & 23"?? ZIP codes??
Did they park it next to El Chapo's??
I'm no fan of Maduro but can someone explain why America can seize this plane or Russian Funds in Banks and Yachts that belong to Russian businessmen that do not live in the US? I'm not sure who on this planet gives America such rights.
Its called RICO and Interpol has a similar program. Madero has 252 sanctions 8 were issued by Trump and Biden so we have no choice but to take his plane because it was stolen from a US hanger illegally and flown to Dominica to get fuel. Domenica is US Territory if anything lands there it will be seized.
That’s not how international diplomacy works. Works more like the Wild West. We have all the firepower and we own the bank. If you don’t like it we can have a shoot out? Most people don’t wanna have a shoot out over a plane or a boat, they just grumble about it.
Don’t do things we don’t like.
Like kicking our oil producers out of your country so you can nationalize it. Our stance is basically “best of luck pumping all that oil alone” because we are unhappy about their decision, but we’re not gonna start a shootout over it either.
13 millions anda tonne of coke,... Barter.😂
Modern day thieves….. OIL, OIL, OIL!!!!
How is this not an act of war
Because whet you acquire a plane illegally, and land it inside of Domican Republic airspace (a country that is our ALLY and that we've worked with for half a century), there are laws and agreements between the countries that allow the US (with help from Dom. Rep. State and Federal police) to investigate a crime-related case. In this case, it was a plane and we repossessed it. Everybody keep your panties on, aight!?!
@@THEcucufate Thieves
@@THEcucufate So Trump had not rights to question the elections in the US but the US led Biden belives to have the right to question the elections of Venezuela?
He purchased it from stolen money? He sounds crooked.
No!! He purchased it without the permission of the USA.
@@user-fr3hy9uh6y Dude, that's his A.F. #1. Now how does he act like a President?
Why do you care about other countries business, when your country is in shambles?
@@edsalinas9996Fly's coach?
He should have been taken into custody by one of our SEAL teams.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If MAGA is against it. It must right 😂
THIS. If I could give you 1000000 likes i would. :D
Good I’m glad we aren’t letting the whole world do whatever they want regardless of what is acceptable
Who and what keeps the US from doing whatever it wants and why does the US think that it gets to decide what the rest of the world does and what is "acceptable " ? The US certainly has no moral high ground to stand on .
Lula might give him a new jet. 😂😂😂
means dingus who had this plane are stranded rofl
That. Is stealing,.. 😂😂
LMAO NO SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL COMMITTING ETHNIC CLEANSING FOR 57 YEARS
Technically it's recovering stolen assets since the money he bought it with was dirty
Only if you're a Trump supporter.
You'd know that!
Like 300 billion the take from Russia Some things we are bullied like we own or rule this planet
These can guys are peddling fake stories and are not ashamed of themselves! Who gave the right to the US to own properties of governments that the consider unfriendly!
lol! whats venezuela going to do?
They're already doing it dude... check the gangs across the continent and the worse is "Tren de aragua" a "v-word" gang backed by Maduro and its regime. Nor to mention that their migrants are most criminals (released from venezuelan prisons) and they go place to place screwing absolutely everything. Just watch some vids of NYC with that people.
Why did Biden wait until now?
It's because the gangster state has been busy seizing bigger loot .
Maduro's coke plane, now for the CIA.🤗
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's telling that the only people upset about this are Trump supporters.
That makes no sense Nicolas Mendero is it far left socialist
That could only be because deep down in their heart of hearts, they are socialists.
@@jamesgirard1090 Read what you just wrote and tell us that that made any sense. Lol You must be a Trump supporter if you didn't get what I was saying.
That could only be because, deep in their heart of hearts, they are socialists.
Putin loving MAGA crowd are pushovers for a dictator
Oil chaching!
This is such a huge waste of taxpayer money.
This will heat up tensions, but will delight the opposition. Not sure it’s a priority for US federal resources since he’ll keep getting new ones.
FAFO 😅
If this was supposedly Nicolás Maduro's presidential Air Force 1 plane, what was it doing in the Dominican Republic without him? He must have given the keys to one of his cronies to fly to the Dominican Republic for a vacation.
to compare it to Air Force One is false. Air Force One is not owned by the US President, it is government property. Maduro's plane was sold and transferred thru a number of shell companies and is registered in the Italian micro state San Marino.
Also, Air Force One never flies without a fighter escort. It also does not get loaned out to friends and cronies of the President.
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Biden Harris want to look tough
I wonder y most countries Want to enjoy BRICKS😂😂😂😂 WE TAKE FROM ANOTHER STATES THAT NOT AGREED WE THE USA USA.😅😅😅
😂It is common knowledge that flight crews are engaged in smuggling. However, does the female customs officer, when she approaches the plane, so relieved by the load she brought into the plane, carry the load from the cargo in the box with the same heavy step?
I know crooked Mega Church pearchers that own outright G 6's , hell why we siezed a crop duster 🤣😂😁
Because this is something a Democrat Attorney General did, it's automatically bad somehow, yes, we get it Trump supporters.
most of them are not even from here
Why is Trump not in gail? Satan correcting sin 🤔
Satan is the giver of knowledge and light!
Africa should stop buy from American
Maduro cartel 😄
