Venezuela has accused Donald Trump of making a “colonialist threat” after he said the airspace around the country should be considered closed.

The country’s foreign ministry called Trump’s comments “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people”.

The US does not legally have the authority to close another country’s airspace, but Trump’s online post could lead to travel uncertainty and deter airlines from operating there.

    I’m hoping that the chain-of-command is so broken because of the bumblefucks in charge at the top that Venezuela actually gets some good licks in ala Ukraine to Russia.

    I know its doubtful, but a man can dream.
