Oh cool, now the US Military gets to do pathetic limp-dick shit like it was Russia. "ha ha we are flying in your airspace. u mad bro? u mad bro? u mad yet bro?".

Can't we just put this guy in a nursing home mocked up as if it's the White House, and tell him all of his orders are being followed to great success? "Yes Dear Leader, China was so cowed by your supremely wise tariffs, today they sent three more gold [colored] statues of you standing on the American flag"

You had a chance with the former one. You missed it. /s

Arguably the US Military has been invited by the legitimate government to do much more than this. Can't really compare to Russia. Unless of course you reject the supposed election results coming from Machado side as a total fraud, but that's seems like kind of a niche opinion.

I support just staying the fuck out rather than being an arbiter of "legitimate government", especially on a continent where a storied history means intervention will be undoubtedly criticized no matter how noble. In fact I recall this exact idea being part of Mister New York Con Artist's campaign (not that I myself was gullible enough to believe him).

I am disappointed in their lack of creativity. They know there will be flight maps if their transponder is on. I think I am speaking on behalf of John Oliver when I say, fly in the pattern of a phallic symbol.
