Real-Life Spy Game: U.S. Agents Plot to "Hijack" Maduro's Plane
The United States and Venezuela have put on a real-life spy game.
On the 28th, the Associated Press reported that a U.S. Homeland Security agent had attempted to secretly recruit the pilot of Venezuelan President Maduro, Bitner Vilegas, with the aim of having him change the flight route when Maduro was on the plane, flying to the United States. Once the plane landed, the U.S. could easily arrest Maduro without much effort.
However, just like many failed plots, this plan by the U.S. agent was very idealistic, but the reality was harsh: despite being promised a lot of generous rewards, such as large amounts of money "sponsors," he still refused the U.S. recruitment.
The report said that until August this year, the U.S. agent was still waiting for Vilegas's response, but one month later, Vilegas expressed his loyalty on the state television in Venezuela, indicating that the U.S. recruitment plan had failed.
Notably, after the failure of the recruitment operation, Trump immediately launched military pressure against Venezuela - the timing coincidence may suggest that the U.S. previously tried to dismantle the Maduro regime with minimal cost, but the failure of the action forced Trump to discard the disguise and take on the appearance of using military intervention in Venezuela.
Finally, one more thing to say: U.S. agents openly plotted to kidnap a head of state, exposing the U.S.'s violation and disregard for international law to an extremely bad extent.
