It looks like all airlines and pilots are afraid of the threat posed by the rogue country on the American continent - and I’m not talking about the one on the map.
Technically the US is on the map, though. Puerto Rico is right there.
The president of Puerto Rico would have something to say about that.
Ok, so … somehow it appears no one in this thread is yet aware of this:
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/29/trump-venezuelan-airspace-military-00670743
President Donald Trump abruptly ordered the airspace closed above and around Venezuela on Saturday, further escalating tensions between the U.S. president and Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, whom the White House accuses of working with narco-terrorist organizations to facilitate drug trafficking.
“To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY,” the president wrote on Truth Social Saturday morning.

Uh, yeah, Trump effectively, unilaterally, just declared a Desert Shield/Storm style No Fly Zone.
… thats what you do before you begin a massive air campaign.
So, as of two weeks ago, the Gerald R Ford was near Venezuela…
But apparently, right now, its … sorta near the Pillars of Hercules?

Uh anyways yeah, looks like we’re gonna be doing a bit of involuntary regime change on Venezuela,
…
The Dollar, the PetroDollar, is currently imploding.
Japan is unwinding its decades long carry trade that had been greatly propping up the US financial system, China’s not buying any more US debt instruments, uh, our entire economy is a giant scam/bet on AI…
…uh, BlackRock is currently imploding, so that means the entire Shadow Banking system of private lending is also going to blow up…
… and maybe you missed the reveal a few weeks back that a huge chunk of our ‘foreign held debt’ is actually held by the Cayman Islands.
Which means its actually held by Wall Street traders, doing a basis trade, which means they bought that debt on something like 100:1 leverage.
Yeah our finances and thus entire monetary system are looking very bad right now.
Did I mention how treasury yields keep popping outside of the Fed’s control channel?
AKA: The Fed is losing the ability to actually set interest rates?
So, with that in mind:
If… you can secure all or a large chunk of VZ’s oil…
… well, maybe… that props up the USD PetroDollar a bit more, for a while longer.
What is happening with Black Rock?
Various hedgefunds have been really struggling. IDK about Blackrock as a whole, but I know that the company I currently work for was until very recently owned by Blackrock and shortly after the acquisition an investigation by the DOL concluded and the resulting media shitstorm caused a lot of customers to break contract in short succession. The company has not been profitable since then. Blackrock recently sold the organization to a large bank (I forget which one) presumably at quite a loss given how much the company has shrunk since they bought it (went from 30k employees down to around 15k!)

Just America being a terrorist state and threatening to blow up innocent people, no biggie
Oh no, the bermuda triangle now has landmass!
/j
Are Aruba, Curaçao, Trinidad and Tobago cutoff?
Just checked and there are still some
Self proclaimed peace dove McDonald Trump now changed his mind and wants war to jumpstart the economy and fix his feeble, falling poll numbers. Venezuela is clearly guilty of the crime of existing on top of vast oil reserves and not playing ball with American corporations and capital owners.
Here’s an article I found that may help provide context;
TL;DR: Trump advises people not to fly over or to Venezuela, some airlines stop, Venezuela govt bans airlines from flying there in response
So we’re firmly in the Wag The Dog timeline.
Can’t wait to see what Kid Rock manages to rhyme with Venezuela…
There is no possibility of it being anything other than genitalia.
He’s gonna fail ya
Trumps genitalia Up on my face He bomb’s Venezuela what a stupid place /s
And it would most probably be about child’s genitalia.

You can check sites like https://skyvector.com/ to see active TFRs (temporary flight restrictions). This includes near permanent ones surrounding the White House and the President’s residence.
There are no TFRs around Venezuela. There are a few southeast of Puerto Rico that are for the DOD, presumably that is where they’ve been launching their attacks from.
