The United States has seized Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane after determining that its acquisition was in violation of US sanctions, among other criminal issues. The US flew the aircraft to Florida on Monday, according to two US officials.

“We see these officials and the Maduro regime basically fleecing the Venezuelan people for their own gain,” the US official said. “You have people who can’t even afford a loaf of bread there and then you have the president of Venezuela jetting around in a high-class private jet.”

Um. Hypocritical much?

    Maduro is a cunt, but taking his plane is none of US business.

      He wasn’t legally allowed to buy the plane because of the sanctions, so it wasn’t technically his plane.
