He's insane and must he stopped
Happy New Year everyone! Really. Happy New Year. 2026 will be a great year! Later.
This is all about oil . This is a kidnapping of a political leader. Next Trump will be going after Greenland Cuba or Canada😢
Can't hate the media enough, especially fox….
😅😅 how many think Trump leaving peacefully in 2028. Say hello to America's dictator and goodbye democracy😢😢
Don't forget he cares about America first 😳. More like he doesn't care about us at all since day 1.
No one cares what you LIBERALS think! Go get paid protesting some BS you know nothing about
Hopefully never to recover !
One of the biggest stories in geopolitics in years, and NBC is concerned about flight delays?
Not safe to fly anywhere right now, wait 6 months or so
We didn't forget about releasing the files.
So 28 million people got liberated and NBC is covering how it may effect some flights? 😐
We dont hate the media enough
Americans impacted by travel caused by America declaring war on Venezuela. Irony
All those rich republicans stuck in the gulf of America
I’m supposed to go to the Caribbean in 7 weeks
WGAF I care more about less people ODing and then people waiting a few days for a plane.
WHO CARES IT WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL TODAY. It was for there safety just in case it was an all out war. FAKE NEWS AT IT AGAIN they must love dictators and drug runners.
Whether the current Republican admin or the previous Democratic admin, it seems obvious that USA is the #1 global terrorist and is doing everything they can to ignite WW3. – 2 parties, 1 [oligarch] agenda. – Where/who are the good guys of the world?
Thank god no more fentanyl in My country… 🙄
Illegal war. Impeach now, and release the Epstein files.
Not one mention by this “news” crew as to whether this war would be legal or justified. This is manufactured consent in your face.
There is a long line of Puerto Rico getting the short end of the stick by Federal government decisions. Maybe flight delays from San Juan isn't that big of a deal but they've been treated like they don't matter over and over again for as long as they've been a territory.
Yes. You nasty Maga voters messed us up bigly! This is just the start of our tourism season. If people cancel en masse, our countries are cooked.
Is it I can board in Perth with I fact documentation but is it get notory in United states to notoize my infact ID as being infact in the invisible non tri Italian Kingdom of God on earth because of my beg to be allegence to our only invisible messiah Iesous and obedience to him.
