In an impressive show of strength, the U.S. military just flew two fighter jets over the Gulf of Venezuela, making it clear that America will not be pushed around. It seems these jets flew closer to the South American country’s airspace than ever since the Trump era’s pressure campaign. Under Trump’s leadership, no nonsense was tolerated, and it looks like that attitude is making a needed comeback. What better way to remind the world who’s boss than with the roar of American jets in the sky?
The left will no doubt wring their hands over this move, worrying about how it makes us look on the international stage. But what they don’t understand is that in geopolitics, showing power is vital. The military action is not just about jets in the sky; it’s about drawing a line in the sand and saying enough is enough. The left’s insistence on appeasement and underestimating threats has emboldened Venezuela and its allies. It’s no surprise they’d rather talk than act, even when it puts America at risk.
This administration is finally taking steps toward reclaiming the respect our nation deserves. The days of bending over backward for international opinion are over. For too long, we have been told to cower and apologize. But standing up to Venezuela now could prevent bigger problems down the road. The truth is, America shouldn’t have to ask permission to protect itself and its interests.
Critics of this show of force will argue it’s unnecessary and provocative. But let’s face it: the real problem is our lack of action before. Drawing red lines and not sticking to them has only served to embolden our enemies. We are no longer living in a time where being timid gets results. It’s about time America makes a statement by flexing our military muscle.
So, what’s it going to be, liberals? Keep making excuses for tyrants, or defend the freedom you enjoy every day? Maybe it’s high time we stop apologizing for being a superpower and start acting like one. America first, always.
