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

My guess is EA-18G Growlers sniffing out SAM radar signatures?

Wild. Acting just like the Russians.

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

The only defiance going on there is the defiance of international law, by Trump & Kegsbreath.

“Defiant” is the new code word for bullying?

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?

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.

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

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.

did they learn that trick from the russians?

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.

WHY? Why is America doing this???!??

That is something Russia or China would do. Actually they are not that stupid

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.

President Peace Prize is doing a great job.

“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.

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.

U.S is like Russia just before the ukraine war

No wars.
This is being the aggressor. There is no valid excuse for any of this.

Defiant? Like, venezuela did something to ‘murica and now ‘muricans are proudly defiant to the country they are provoking? Wannabe journalists can’t sell their bullshit without clickbaiting.

[Antonio María Delgado](https://www.miamiherald.com/profile/218531130/), do fucking better.
Asinine
It’s not defiant. It’s douche.
They spelled illegal wrong, it does not start with a d.
Release the Epstein files! Release the second boat video!
Defiant? I would call it provocative.
But again why the fuck is the US doing this at all?
Fuck christofasict America…fuck Trump
