The International Airport of Maiquetia Simon Bolivar, the main one in Venezuela, was maintaining its operations normally this Saturday, after the announcement of the US President. USA., Donald Trump, to consider the airspace of this South American country closed.

The airfield, which serves Caracas, received two flights from Barbados and Bogota during the morning and has scheduled the routes from Panama, Curacao and Havana, according to EFE on a tour.

At the moment, in the afternoon, two delayed flights to Panama and Bogota, all operated by the commercial airline Copa, were notified through the screens.

Airport sources told EFE that the delays are unrelated to the context of tension with the United States.

Likewise, a flight to Curacao and another to Havana departed from Maiquetía on this day.

Also at the La Chinita International Airport, located in Maracaibo, the capital of the state of Zulia (west, bordering Colombia), air operations continued smoothly, according to the itineraries disseminated by the airlines.

An unofficial source indicated that seven airlines are still working at that airport and during the week they received charter and international flights.

Kind of like when he said India had stopped buying Russian oil, and the Indians were like, "eh...no we haven't" Still, I don't see how he can back down from all this build up without doing something. Hopefully it'll be "symbolic" to save face and it'll blow over.

The problem is, how do you achieve a symbolic regime change? I suppose they might settle for 'we destroyed the narcoterrorist networks and set them back for years'. That Cartel de los Soles won't be bothering us for a while, blah blah.

Yeah that is the hard thing. Trump will likely like to make a quick kinetic action strike, then take a victory lap and announce that he brokered his 9th og 10th peace deal + big business deals and that Maduro is really a great guy. Yet one thing is what Trump likes to do and another is what kind of response he will receive from the possible kinetic action. Fantasy does not always make reality. Distraction can work great to some extent but it doesn't mean it will work every time.

Then there's this angle to Trump's seeming obsession with Venezuela. Not sure I totally trust an "ex" CIA agent, but still find his take intriguing. We know Trump wants to end voting fraud. If he believes Venezuela is where a big part of that happens, that could be part of his motivation for regime change.

Why Trump Could Be Battling Maduro — Beyond Oil & Drugs

Whistle-blower Gary Berntsen, a former DOJ/FBI/DEA/HSI operative, stepped forward in 2024 with a bombshell: he asserted that the U.S. election system was being hijacked from abroad.

“Dominion Voting Systems manages elections in almost all the swing states in the U.S., which determines who wins the presidency. We have evidence and witnesses that can prove the source code operating the election machines of both Smartmatic and Dominion, and other election companies, are owned by the Venezuelan narco regime. We also have evidence and witnesses proving the machines are manufactured in the People’s Republic of China.”

Trump has positioned himself against Maduro’s regime for years. Why? Because maybe he’s not just fighting a socialist dictator; maybe he’s cutting off one node of a larger global system that threatens our sovereignty, including our vote.
