FAA Orders US planes to leave Venezuela ASAP and to not go below 26,000 ft

shite gonna get real for maduro. Hope the new guy takes note of who the big stick on the block is.

You baws want me to decipher what this means?

1) Russians told the U.S. that anything in the air may or will be shot down by Cuban ground to air missile batteries; or,

2) U.S. is about to get REAL serious. This FAA thing is only an opening gambit to assess any reaction from Russia/Cuba.

The very last thing Russia, or Cuba would want to do, is shoot down an American airliner, or US military plane over Venezuela. The economic response would be catastrophic for either country, not to mention the military response of the lone superpower, in there own back yard.

Think about it for a second. Russian or Cubans shooting down a United States plane over a foreign country? There is no possible gain only severe pain, both economically and militarily.

Precaution against missiles. Doubt any American operators are left there anyway

If the Cubans shot down or even attempted to shoot down a US commercial or military plane, Raul Castro would be joining Maduro as another deposed dictator

Those are countermeasures to divert incoming heat seeking missiles.
