Venezuela

I see that in the last 4 hours, Venezuela's airspace has been emptied and all Planes are diverting around. Normally, the airlines are tipped off in advance, or are warned that something has happened and reported from a flight that, as a precaution, the airspace is closed down. Is something planned to happen from either side? Or just a precautionary measure. All we need is another conflict going on

Lots of info on BBC World Service news on radio Julian. Has been for weeks. Worth a listen. Makes you wonder if Trump's planning to copy Putin.

Flight finder shows only one aircraft in Venezuelan airspace,ACL1172 B737 Aercaribe.

My husband is Venezuelan (and has family in Caracas) so we're following the situation closely. Maduro - the illegitimate president - has run the (once very wealthy) country into the ground, so we're hoping this is all about Trump showing some muscle/sending a signal there's no hope for Maduro and that it's time for him to move on (to Russia or China one imagines).
