    The dick waving politicians have no problems endangering the lives of the men and women of our military to make their point.

    Defiant of what? Being invaded.

    The pervert defiantly showed his dick to pedestrians

  3. All the millions being spent for… nothing. They want Venezuela to do something so that droopy trump can invade.

  4. The “President of Peace”, everyone.

    I guess now we’re screaming at the top of our lungs while carrying the world’s biggest stick, ehh?

  5. This will be for setting up Wild Weasel missions once the big show starts. Nail down where sensors and AA systems are, so they can be taken out hours before the decapitation strikes can happen. Likely not gonna be too many days off now.

  6. To be honest, 40 mins is long enough to buzz the capital, take some selfies and still be home for lunch.

  7. this has to be the shittiest use of the word “Defiant”

    Look at our humble, indie empire defying the big, mean, Venezuela. Just a quiet government ran by some small town, part-time kleptocrat billionaires and they ain’t going to take no shit from them ‘zuelans.

  8. You guys see that map? That city to the right, Punto Fijo? Well I live there, yikes.

    Here we have a large naval base and the two main oil refineries in the country, so if the US does something I definitely will be seeing action.

    Russia literally commits full scale war on civilians butchering people in their streets, homes and vehicles, sending hundreds of bombs nightly, and the US doesn’t bat an eye, but Venezuela has a few fishing sized boats and so they send their navy and jets? Then attacking families on their own american soil as a thraet? Can’t believe how twisted and backward america is these days. Troubling. When what seems like basic common sense reason isn’t working, what do you do at that point?

    Yeah dawg you aren’t “defying” anyone when you have enough military power to obliterate the country 3 times over right outside it’s EEZ. 

    This is being an antagonist. This is an adult picking on 3rd graders. 

  11. “Two U.S. F-18 fighters circled over the Gulf of Venezuela near Maracaibo for about 40 minutes, escalating tensions between the two countries.”

    Just call it the Gulf of America and problem solved.

  12. This is the exact behavior that emboldens Russia’s imperialistic and arrogant delusions enough to question “Well, if the US can do it – why can’t we?!” – US: Like the faux WMDs of Iraq, like the decapitation of Libya, like the drone strikes in Pakistan, like the exit from Afghanistan, RF: like the incursions into Georgia, like the Salisbury attacks, like the faux threat of Ukraine, like the NATO airspace incursions.

    If we (the US) behaved more responsibly, other [junior adversary peers like the Russian Federation] countries would follow our lead. But no, we have idiots like Bush, Obama, Biden, and Trump giving an autocracy all the excuses in the world.
